Types of Doctorate Degrees
There are generally three types of Doctorate Degrees that can be awarded, research/terminal, (first) professional, and honorary. Any of these would have been required to complete accredited classes relative to their field of study. The first type, research/terminal Doctorate, is usually awarded to an individual who has produced their dissertation, an advanced research paper that can take years to complete and should document something of significance for the benefit of the world or some aspect of it. The second type, the professional doctorate, as the name indicates, is usually an individual in the public or private sector that has not only strived for improvement professionally but, has also refined their craft to the highest level by obtaining their doctorate degree. Finally, there is the honorary doctorate degree, which is usually awarded to someone who has made a significant contribution to a particular field. What all three of these types of doctorate have in common is that degree holders can add or change their title to doctor.Â
