A PhD is a doctor of philosophy. This is the highest academic distinction for some fields of study. PhD students have usually earned their Bachelor’s and Master’s degree, and thus are considered experts in their field. A PhD student usually has the responsibility of creating a thesis that offers original work or study within the field. Those who earn a PhD often do so in order to continue working within academia and either continue research within their field and/or teach at the college and university level. For those already in the workplace who want to earn a PhD, there are distance learning colleges and universities that offer PhD programs online.
