宗教哲学博士-西亚和南亚宗教

西亚和南亚宗教（WSAR）的学习课程借鉴了埃默里（Emory’）在伊斯兰，印度教和佛教传统中的广泛实力，为这些传统提供了研讨会和学位论文监督。方法论观点。虽然这三个主要传统广泛地界定了WSAR内的三个主要学习领域，但是跨传统以及整个西亚和南亚的思想和实践的交叉应用仍然是教师和学生的核心兴趣。所有学生都必须具有第二专业知识领域，最常见的是WSAR内的三种宗教传统之一，但偶尔还有另一种宗教传统（例如犹太教）或学术探究领域（例如认知科学）。结果是形成了一个多元化的知识界，他们参与了涉及广泛的文化，历史和理论
The course of study in West and South Asian Religions (WSAR) draws on the extensive strengths of Emory's faculty in Islamic, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions to offer seminars and dissertation supervision in these traditions from a range of methodological perspectives. While these three main traditions broadly define three primary streams of study within WSAR, the cross-fertilization of ideas and practices across traditions and throughout West and South Asia remains a core interest of the faculty and students. All students are required to have a secondary area of expertise, most frequently one of the three religious traditions within WSAR but occasionally another religious tradition (e.g., Judaism) or area of academic inquiry (e.g., cognitive science). The result is a diverse intellectual community that engages in conversations touching on a wide range of cultural, historical and theoretical issues. These conversations are pursued through the regularly scheduled WSAR colloquium, at which faculty and advanced graduate students present their research.
