An honorary degree or a degree honoris causa (Latin:”for the sake of the honour”) is an academic degree for which a university (or other degree-awarding institution) has waived the usual requirements, such as matriculation, residency, study and the passing of examinations. The degree is typically a doctorate and may be awarded to someone who has no prior connection with the academic institution.

United Theological Seminary (UTS) will bestow the Honorary Doctor of Divinity Degree upon distinguished Pastors, Evangelists, Ministers,

and other Christian Leaders or Public Servants who have made significant contributions in their respective fields or for the extension of God’s Kingdom.

UTS welcomes the opportunity to receive recommendations and nominations of persons in the ministry who deserve the Special Recognition and Honor of receiving the Honorary Doctor of Divinity Degree. Please contact us for details.
