Honorary Degree

An honorary degree is an academic recognition awarded by a university or college to individuals who have made significant contributions to a specific field or society, without the recipient having to complete the usual academic requirements. These degrees often celebrate accomplishments in areas such as the arts, sciences, humanitarian efforts, or public service. While recipients do not receive this degree through traditional study, it symbolizes respect and acknowledgment of their impact and dedication to their profession or community. Honorary degrees are typically conferred during graduation ceremonies.
