In the British unviersities DLitt (or LittD) stands for Doctor of Letters (or Literature). It is a higher doctorate and ranks above the PhD. It is the highest formal award that any British university can make in the Humanities, and is very rarely awarded. At one university I know the key criterion for awarding the DLitt is that the recipient must be an authority on his/her subect. In this context, an authority is meant in a very rigorous sense indeed.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between a DLitt et Phil degree offered by the University of South Africa and the other universities' Ph.Ds?
There is no difference. The Unisa DLitt et Phil is a doctorate requiring a full-length thesis based on original research. In other words, like the Oxford DPhil, it is equivalent to a PhD.
What degree do you get after a Ph.D?
Only in some most European countries. Them being DSc (Doctorate of Sciences) and DLitt (Doctorate of Letters)

What degree is higher than a PhD?
The highest academic degree is typically a Doctor of Science (ScD) or Doctor of Letters (DLitt), depending on the field of study.
Is there a degree higher than a doctorate available?
Yes, there are post-doctoral degrees available, such as a Doctor of Science (ScD) or Doctor of Letters (DLitt), which are considered higher than a traditional doctorate.
Which universities offer DLitt via distance learning in its entirety?
None, unfortunately, if you mean doctorates that are similar to the PhD, EdD, etc. I've done an exhaustive search for distance-only DLitt programs in the English-speaking countries but I was unable to find any. Some Commonwealth universities offer the DLitt as a higher doctorate, but that's a different thing entirely. Higher doctorates are awarded on the basis of published work; they represent the culmination of a distinguished research career. In the natural sciences, a successful applicant would generally have more than 100 peer-reviewed articles in good journals. Higher doctorates are "distance learning" in the sense that the publications are the only requirement -- and they can be completed anywhere -- but I'd guess that fewer than 1% of the faculty at well-regarded universities would quality for a higher doctorate.
What is Owen Spencer-Thomas famous for?

When do you need to capitalize the name of a degree?
Academic degrees are always capitalized.Examples: Master's degrees: LLM, MA, MBA, MMath, etc. Specialist degrees: EdS Doctorate degrees: PhD, DLitt, DA, etc.

The ENLISTED ranks to include all pay grades don't even touch what I made last year in pay. I also make more per year than any WARRANT officer ranks until they have hit the 20 year mark or so in pay seniority. So, my friend with the rank structure analogy above. NOT ALL IS WHAT IT SEEMS my friend. NOT ALL IS WHAT IT SEEMS ALL THE TIME.I'd suggest you do a little research on the Internet of what degrees really are. Consider earning a degree in a technical field. Maybe computer science or healthcare? These are currently in-demand and should help you find a job in the current economy. I'd suggest you read reviews discussing accreditation, student services, financial aid help etc.
