- Dr. univ.
-
Dr. univ. is an abbreviation for "doctor universitatis" (doctor of university in English). It was a doctoral rank in Hungary classified between Master of Arts and CSc (Candidatus Scientiarum = old-style PhD). It was abolished in the 1990s; i.e., no more dr.univ. degrees were given. Many of those already having dr. univ. degree had it converted into PhD.
Since that time, some universities in North America have taken to awarding a Doctor of the University or D.Univ as an honorary degree instead of the more usual LL.D.
