It is developed through extensive supporting research and must be approved by the designated committee.

PhD = Doctor of Philosophy .
PhD is an abbreviation for "Doctor of Philosophy" (Philosophiae Doctor).The reason for the name is historical. Most universities used to have only four majors: divinity, law, medicine, and philosophy. All other modern subjects (such as physics, English, math) were part of philosophy, and so most subjects still use PhD as their doctoral degree.To receive a PhD you first must receive a BA or BS degree (4 year undergraduate degree). You then apply for a Master's degree and then apply to be accepted to a PhD program. Some PhD programs combine the Master's and PhD into one.
I have looked it up in several dictionaries. There is no such thing as a Doctor IN Philosphy. Oxford Dictionary, Cambridge Dictionary and Chambers' 20 Century Dictionary all state Ph.D. as Doctor of Philosophy.
