What is an Honorary Doctoral Degree?
An honorary doctoral degree is often awarded in recognition of one's life experiences. It is denoted by the letters "h.c.", which is an abbreviation for "honoris causa" (Latin for "for the sake of honor"). This means that the degree is bestowed as an honor rather than through the completion of certain academic requirements. Those who are honored with this title often do not have any prior connection to the award-giving institution.
Honorary doctorates are often awarded by prestigious universities such as Harvard or Oxford. They are often given to those who have either made contributions to a certain field, or more commonly as a "thank you" to those who have made donations to the institution. Some famous examples of Honorary Doctors are Microsoft founder Bill Gates, the Italian opera signer Luciano Pavarotti, and Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, to name a few.
But honorary doctoral degrees can also be awarded by organizations like Los Angeles Development Church & Institute. These are called ecclesiastical honorary degrees, and are awarded in disciplines related to metaphysics and religion. A recipient of an ecclesiastical honorary doctoral degree can use the title of Doctor Honoris Causa exactly like the recipient of an honorary degree from Yale University, for example. Similarly, our honorary degrees are also given in appreciation of a donation. And this is the service that we offer: if you make a small donation of $89 to our institute, we will award you an honorary doctorate degree.

"Thank you for your incredible service. I never had a chance to study for an academic degree when I was younger, and I always felt that this held me back in life. This has finally leveled the playing field for me, and now I can hold my head up a little higher as I introduce myself as an honorary doctor. Thanks again."

"Thank God for empowering me through your organization. You can make a lot of changes in the lives of others, and your honorary doctorate in divinity has allowed me to do just that.
