    Default PH.D

    What does PH.D stand for in term of academic acheivement. I always see it written behind the name on the business cards.

    Thank you.

    Default Re: PH.D

    It means Doctor of Philosophy- you see variations like D.Phil/DPhil. The Ph.D version comes from philosophiae doctor in Latin.
