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 anyprior 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 large 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 smaller schools and organizations. There are many places that offer these degrees for various prices. Some offer them for as little as $20. In other cases, they can range in the thousands. This is true from many 'so called' religious institutions.
