How do I know which faculty members are eligible to serve as doctoral advisers?

You can find a full list of faculty in the Study of Religion under the “People” tab. Emeritus faculty are retired and are not eligible to advise new students. Lecturers and Research Professors can serve as members of a student’s dissertation committee, but according to FAS rules, they cannot serve as primary advisers. Doctoral students in Religion often study with faculty from other departments, but it is rare for students to have a primary adviser who is not affiliated with the Study of Religion.
