career path - Is a PhD the highest degree?


I am curious to know whether PhD is the highest degree one can earn? Is there any other degree beyond that, if so what is it and what are the universities offering the same?




Answer



The degree you're looking for (at least in the sciences) is called "Doctor of Science" and you can read all about it on Wikipedia:


Doctor of Science


Edit: As aeismail noted: Sometimes this degree is considered equivalent to a PhD and sometimes it's considered beyond a PhD. This distinction typically varies by country (all this is listed on the Wikipedia page).
