HONORARY DEGREES ARE REAL DEGREES

This is mandated by federal law: the Department’s role is to determine whether an accrediting agency is a “reliable authority as to the quality of education or training offered,” as outlined in 20 U.S.C. § 1099b and 34 CFR Part 602.

Benjamin Franklin: The First American Honorary Doctor
Benjamin Franklin is perhaps the most famous early American recipient of honorary degrees. Despite his limited formal education, Franklin was recognized for his remarkable achievements as a scientist, inventor, and statesman. In 1759, the University of St. Andrews awarded him an honorary doctorate, and in 1762, Oxford University bestowed upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Law. Franklin took pride in these honors and thereafter referred to himself as “Doctor Franklin,” even though he had no medical training.
