Reply to comment by K9turrent in Eli5: what’s the difference between a graduate and undergraduate degree by deadpuppy101

PhD stands for doctorate of philosophy. It’s an abbreviation, not an acronym.

Also want to add on to this that there are other doctoral programs that do not end in PhD. For example you could get a PhD in Psychology where you do a ton of research. Or a PsyD where it is less research and moreso you learning more real world clinical skills
