A Doctorate (Ph. D.) is the highest earned degree awarded by a [[University]].   
    
In the nineteenth century, first in [[Germany]] and later in other nations in Europe and in the United States, the degree of "Doctor of Philosophy" (Latin "Philosophiae Doctoris", thus Ph.D.) was established as the final result of an program of advanced study, culminating in a [[dissertation]] or formal (not always published) work.  Though originally awarded only in Philosophy, the Ph.D. is now also awarded in numerous fields of the Humanities and Sciences.
