Statement of Purpose

United Nations Diplomats, U.S. Presidents, foreign dignitaries, medical doctors (both in the U.S. and abroad), scientists, artists, writers, teachers, administrators, clergy, pastors, priests other religious leaders, entertainers, and business people of all levels, have all proudly accepted honorary doctorate degrees from the University of Berkley. Most individuals would consider it an honor indeed to be included in such a group of distinguished individuals.

Many outstanding people or preeminent leaders in their fields never had the opportunity to pursue a traditional or formal education. The honorary doctoral degree (Doctor of Philosophy ~ Honoris Causa, or "Cause to be honored") is perhaps the finest and most useful method to recognize education and or accomplishments and to formally bestow upon the worthy individual the respect they deserve, by the conferral of the degree.

The Honorary degrees conferred by the University of Berkley possess a "potential for acknowledgment". They are legal, valid degrees (of Honorary Distinction) in every sense of the word. You may use your degree, and it's accompanying prestige in what way you feel fit. The degrees and the concept or IDEAL that they impart and imply are accepted and respected by institutions, companies and many governmental agencies here in the United States and elsewhere in the world.

We believe that many of the recipients of the coveted University of Berkley Honorary Doctorate ~ Ph.D. (Honoris Causa) are among the highest caliber, most intelligent, talented, best-educated and most effective individuals you will find anywhere. They, and the Honorary UofB degrees they possess, are equal to their counterparts from any College or University anywhere in the world.

We at the University of Berkley are dedicated to the propagation of knowledge and its correct application -- wisdom. As an organization we recognize that all people are part of a larger whole - Humankind. As individual members of the "family" we all have unique qualities, experiences and knowledge to impart unto others. Having your Doctorate and being able to put Ph.D. after your name or refer to yourself as "Doctor" can be highly beneficial as well as making you much more plausible; therefore putting you in a position of being able to impart your knowledge unto others.

This then is our goal: to provide this unique service and make available all benefits pertaining to one who uses his/her title of: Doctor.
