A Doctor of Philosophy degree, abbreviated PhD, is the top academic degree anyone can earn. Because earning a PhD requires extensive study and extreme intellectual effort, less than one percent of the population attains the degree. People show respect for a person who holds a PhD by addressing them as “Doctor”.
