“Honoris causa” is a Latin phrase which means “for the sake of the honor” and it is an academic degree conferred by a university in which the usual requirements such as matriculation, residence, lessons and the passing of examinations are waived.
Usually the degree is conferred as a way of honoring a distinguished person's contributions to a specific field of endeavor or to the society in general. The university often derives benefits by association and alliance with the person being honored.
Universities use honorary degrees or “honoris causa” to recognize feats of the intellectual determination that are equivalent to an earned degree. The practice dates back to the middle ages, when for a variety of reasons a university might be convinced to grant exemption from the usual statutory requirements for the awarding of a degree.
