Doctor of Arts
The Doctor of Arts (D.A.; occasionally D.Arts or Art.D. from the Latin artium doctor) is a discipline-based terminal doctoral degree that was originally conceived and designed to be an alternative to the traditional research-based Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) and the education-based Doctor of Education (Ed.D.). Like other doctorates, the D.A. is an academic degree of the highest level. The D.A. is also frequently conferred as an honorary degree with the added designation of honoris causa.
The Carnegie Foundation was the first to fund ten universities with seed money to initiate the degree.
The D.A. differs from the Ph.D. and Ed.D. degrees in its shift in emphasis from research (though a project or thesis is generally required) to the advanced study of a specific discipline, content area expertise, learning theory, and curriculum design. As such, it is often described as a "teaching doctorate". The D.A. differs from the Ed.D. in its strong disciplinary focus, while still embracing the Ed.D.'s concern for issues in education, and a theoretical as well as practical preparation in pedagogy.[citation needed]
Three prominent earned Doctor of Arts degrees offered in the United States are the D.A. in English Pedagogy from Murray State University, the D.A. in the Great Books of the Western World from Harrison Middleton University, and the D.A. in Music from Ball State University. Idaho State University also has D.A. programs in biology, math, and political science.
In Australia, the Doctor of Creative Arts degree is offered at several universities as a terminal degree in the field.
In 2016, ELIA (European League of Institute of the Arts) launched The Florence Principles on the Doctorate in the Arts. The Florence Principles, relating to the Salzburg Principles and the Salzburg Recommendations of the EUA (European University Association), define the differences between a Doctorate in the Arts compared to a scientific doctorate or Ph.D. degree. The Florence Principles have been endorsed by the European Association of Conservatoires, CILECT, the Cumulus Association, and the Society for Artistic Research.
In Italy, a PhD in Artistic Practice can be obtained at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome.
In the Netherlands, it can be pursued at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague.
