How many of you were called doctor at commencement?


Charley Blunt

Question

Hey there! Just wondering if it's common to call graduating students by the title of doctor. Our school is refusing to do so. I'm looking to find out how many schools actually do, so that we can write a letter to petition the school to call us by our degrees. Thanks!

Why?

I have never heard of this practice except maybe at medical schools/programs. Usually they just recognize that the degree they are conferring is a doctorate level degree and that is it. I have never heard of an institution using the doctor title for graduating students.

That sounds strange..

Not necessarily. OP may have attended a HBCU. If my reading of the tea leaves (user name, location, avatar) is correct, the question is sensible even though the preferred outcome is unlikely.
