New Life Bible College & Seminary (NLBS) welcomes the opportunity to receive recommendations and nominations of persons in the ministry who deserve the special recognition and honor of receiving the Honorary Doctorate of Divinity Degree. However each applicant must meet the criteria established by the New Life Bible College & Seminary Board of Regents which will also be based upon their evaluation of information provided about the candidates. The Honorary Doctorate Degree is conferred upon distinguished Pastors, Evangelists, Ministers, and other Christian Leaders or Public Servants who have made significant contributions in their respective fields or for the extension of God’s Kingdom.

An honorary degree or a degree honoris causa (Latin:”for the sake of the honour”) is an academic degree for which a university (or other degree-awarding institution) has waived the usual requirements, such as matriculation, residence, study and the passing of examinations. The degree is typically a doctorate and may be awarded to someone who has no prior connection with the institution.

​

The Honorary Doctorate Degree awarded solely for the accomplishments and contributions that a person has made. New Life Bible College & Seminary does not sell its Honorary Degrees. To apply for the Honorary Doctorate or to recommend a candidate, contact us. Should it become known publicly or otherwise that the degree recipient no longer represents the purpose and mission of NLBS or is found to have serious integrity issues,  NLBS may withdraw the Honorary Degree.
