What is an Honorary Doctorate?

An honorary doctorate degree is an academic degree for which a university (or other degree-awarding institution) waives the usual degree requirements. The degree is often conferred as a way of honoring a distinguished person's contributions to a specific field or to society in general. In some cases. It is given to graduation speakers at a university or college.

Honorary degrees represent Global International Alliance's highest recognition of outstanding and distinguished contributions to scholarship, creativity, leadership, and humanitarian or public service. that represent a state-level, national or international model to others and reflect the broad mission of the university.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: The Honorary Doctorate in Humanitarianism is NOT a PhD
