   小百科：什么是honorary degree？

An honorary degree or a degree honoris causa (Latin: "for the sake of the honor") is an academic degree for which a university (or other degree-awarding institution) has waived the usual requirements, such as matriculation, residence, study and the passing of examinations. The degree is typically a doctorate or, less commonly, a master's degree and may be awarded to someone who has no prior connection with the academic institution. The degree is often conferred as a way of honouring a distinguished visitor's contributions to a specific field or to society in general. It is often given to graduation speakers at a university or college.

    获得荣誉学位无需领有大学（或学位授予机构）的入学容许，无需在校住宿学习或通过考试等等。名誉学位个别都是博士级学位，少数情况下是硕士级，它可能授予跟该学术机构并无重要联系的人。荣誉学位时常是授予对某个特别范围或对全体社会做出贡献的杰出人士，经常授予那些在大学或院校做讲演的毕业人士。
