    PhD Programs in Geopolitics

    As the study of how geographical factors influence international relations, geopolitics may be helpful to political science majors. While many government courses focus on the politics within a country, geopolitics can focus on how a country’s borders may influence surrounding countries, creating power struggles within regions and economic discourse.

    The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
