- sangaya 17y agoDoctorate is accurate. While PhD is technically a "research doctorate" and MD and JD are "professional doctorates", all three are types of doctorate degrees. PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) MD (Doctor of Medicine) JD (Juris Doctor)
- rubing 17y agoaccurate, but not specific
- Allocator2008 17y agoLLD is a doctorate too (Doctor of Laws) - the next step up from the LLM (Master of Laws) - to be a solicitor or a barrister, one needs at least an LLB (Bachelor of Laws). I (almost) decided to study law once which is how I know. I was so enamored with Cole Turner (Julian McMahon's character in 'Charmed') I very nearly decided to pursue an online law degree, since Cole was a lawyer. Who knows. Maybe I still will one of these days, but since all my experience is in SQA, it would not be the most logical thing in the world in the long run I don't think. But anyway, LLD is also another kind of doctorate, along with Ph.D. MD, DDS, DVM, etc.
