Ph.D.
Specialization in Religion and Nature
Department of Religion
University of Florida
The Ph.D. specialization in Religion and Nature at
the University of Florida, is a multidisciplinary
program based in the Department of Religion that utilizes
faculty and resources from across the University.
This program responds to the urgent need to investigate
attitudes and values that have permitted the proliferation
and global expansion of the environmental crisis.
The multidisciplinary approach of this program serves
as a basis for making choices and decisions that seek
to address our twenty-first century global challenge.
As the long and diverse roster of faculty affiliates
of the interdisciplinary College of Natural Resources
and Environment (CNRE) attests, there is a rich array
of faculty at the University of Florida already engaged
in environmentally based teaching and research projects.
In contrast to environmental studies programs that
tend to be science-based, the new Ph.D. program in
Religion and Nature in the Department of Religion
at the University of Florida addresses the environment
from the standpoint of culture and human values prepares
students to teach in secondary fields such as Religions
in the Americas or Religions of Asia.
