To obtain an honorary doctorate, a university or institution typically selects individuals who have made significant contributions to their field or society. You cannot apply for an honorary doctorate; it is usually bestowed upon you based on your achievements and merits, often through a nomination or recommendation process. Honorary doctorates are awarded as a recognition of excellence and are not earned through academic coursework or research.

Technically, churches can give any honorary degrees they wish to. The real question would be how much credence will people give an honorary degree in metaphysics.At the Universal Life Church Seminary, the metaphysics degree is an earned 5 months degree course taught by a respected author/teacher in the field. Coursework and final essays are required.The ULC Headquarters also offers a course in metaphysics, which does require some reading.My understanding is that neither the ULC Seminary, nor the ULC Headquarters offers honorary degrees for Metaphysics. They are earned degrees.Written by Rev. Amy Long
