STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD WITH A DOCTORATE DEGREE
The world is awash with people with academic qualifications. A Doctorate degree is the highest level of academic award that you can earn; it signifies that you are at the pinnacle of your chosen area of expertise and will stand out from the crowd as a true expert in your field.
Doctorate degrees fall under two categories:
1. The first category, Research (also referred to as Academic) includes, among others, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Doctor of Business Administration (DBA).
2. The second category, Applied (also referred to as Professional) includes, among others, Doctor of Medicine (MD), Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) and Juris Doctor (JD). Applied doctorates are generally paired with very specific careers.
The difference between an Academic and an Applied Doctorate is that an Academic Doctorate is more academic, research-focused, and heavy on theory as opposed to an Applied Doctorate which is intended for you to master a subject in both theory and practice.
With a Doctorate Degree, regardless of whether it is Academic or Applied, you are awarded the title of Doctor: You have the title, You’ve earned the right to have the title, to be known as a Doctor in whatever your field may be. With a PhD in particular you become a Doctor of Philosophy with a specialized field such as management or leadership.
