An honorary degree is given to a person as an honor rather than through the completion of academic requirements. They are mostly given to those who have made major contributions to a certain field with their own passionate skills or as a ‘Thank You’ to those who have made a large impact on the community through their excellent work in a particular field. An honorary Certificate, Master’s, and Doctorate acknowledge that the recipient deserves to be recognized for their unique abilities and contributions due to life’s learning and experiences. It is nowhere connected or showcased the academic education or qualification. An honorary degree is just for the sake of recognition or honor to a particular person with a particular skill and expertise. An honorary degree is often awarded in recognition of one’s life experiences. It is denoted by the letters “h.c.”, which is an abbreviation for “honoris causa” (Latin “for the sake of honor”), like h.c.Dr. or Dr.h.c., h.c.Masters. This means that the degree is bestowed as an honor rather than through the completion of certain academic requirements. Those who are honored with this title often do not have any prior connection to the award-giving institution.
