D.Univ. (Doctor of the University)  The degree of M.Univ. (Master of the University) is also available.

Ph.D. honoris causa (not available in therapy- or medical-related fields: an alternative major may be suggested instead.)

Ed.D. (Doctor of Education) honoris causa

D.R.S. (Doctor of Religious Studies) honoris causa

D.B.A. (Doctor of Business Administration) honoris causa

D.D. (Doctor of Divinity)

Met.D. (Doctor of Metaphysics) honoris causa

D. Tech. (Doctor of Technology) honoris causa

Other honorary doctoral awards may be considered. All degrees listed as “honoris causa” (Latin for “honorary”) will have the words “honoris causa” inscribed on the degree certificate to distinguish them from earned degrees.

We cannot stress highly enough that Calamus International University honorary doctorates are privileged awards and are not automatic. Each application goes through a rigorous evaluation process. Comparatively few honorary degrees are awarded and many candidates are rejected.  Please do not confuse these honorary awards with inferior awards from other institutions that do not have any real restrictions on who receives an award.

Higher Doctorates – D.Sc. (Doctor of Science) and D.Litt. (Doctor of Letters) 

Holders of existing doctoral degrees who are also highly accomplished professionals or scholars are welcome to enquire about a path to a higher doctorate – the D.Sc. or D.Litt. These degrees cannot be awarded to persons who do not hold a prior doctoral degree.
