Doctor of Arts

A Doctor of Arts (D.A.) is a doctoral degree in the field of arts, typically awarded for studies in fine arts, humanities, or social sciences. It emphasizes artistic or creative research, critical thinking, and advanced theoretical knowledge. The Doctor of Arts degree is different from a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in that it focuses more on applied arts or professional development rather than a purely research-oriented approach.
