Both Oulanya and Kadaga hold honorary doctorate degrees!
So, I asked myself, what Is the Purpose of an Honorary Degree?
Is an honorary degree a real degree, are honorary degrees valid, do honorary degrees count, do honorary degrees mean anything, what is the purpose of an honorary degree, and what can be done with an honorary degree?
*This is what I got:*
In the sense that an honorary degree is awarded by an accredited college or university, it is a real degree. However, these degrees are not equivalent to a Ph.D., doctorate in education, clinical research, or any other area, nor are most of them honorary Ph.D.s.
There are no academic or professional privileges associated with honorary degrees. Individuals can be called 'Doctor' by others but should not use the title when talking about themselves, nor should it be used in written communications, including business cards. However, the degree abbreviation can be used after the recipient's name. Recipients can also note on their résumés that they have been awarded the degree, but they should put the words 'honoris causa' or 'honorary' after the degree to show that the degree has not been earned through successful completion of an academic program.
