Honorary Doctorate Program
Recognizing distinguished leaders whose lives reflect service, integrity and nation-building.
Planned program; no honors can be conferred yet. NBU is not currently licensed, accredited, approved, or authorized to confer degrees, including honorary degrees. Nominations are collected now so a review committee is ready once authorization exists. Honorary doctorates are never sold and no one pays a fee. Criteria below are proposed and require adoption by the Board of Organizers.
Proposed criteria
Who may be nominated
- Distinguished achievement and sustained contribution in a field such as leadership, public service, education, business, diplomacy, humanitarian work, technology or the arts
- Service to the public good, community or global citizenship
- Integrity: an unblemished public record; NBU may decline any nomination
- Alignment with NBU's mission and values: academic excellence, integrity, leadership, innovation, inclusion, service and global citizenship
- Independence: no payment, gift or purchase is connected to a nomination; self-nominations, and nominations of current NBU owners, officers or their immediate family, are not accepted
Proposed process
From nomination to recognition
Nominate
Submit the nomination form with a verifiable case for recognition.
Review
A review committee examines the case and checks references.
Approve
Any recommendation requires approval of the Board of Organizers.
Confer (after authorization only)
Honors would be conferred at a university ceremony once NBU is authorized.
