Other awards

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.

In 2004, Calamus International University awarded its very first honorary Doctor of Psychology degree, to a Board-certified and state-licensed American psychologist who already had an earned Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from a fully accredited American university, and who had a track record of many years’ clinical practice and teaching experience. As at April 2009, no further honorary Psy.D. degrees have been awarded, but we are willing to consider exceptional candidates.

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.
