Degree Type

Hello - I have a degree type that is a doctorate that is not a PhD or an MD. A Doctorate option would be a nice feature

    A year later, has this been addressed? I have a DEng (Doctor of Engineering) which is not an option either

    I’m a Doctor of Pharmacy and this would be accurately represented as either “PharmD” (not PharMD as it currently reads) or field of study=Pharmacy and degree=Doctorate.

    Thanks for flagging this, Hana!

    We’re actively exploring ways to make the degree field more flexible, including support for custom labels. Out of curiosity, what’s the specific degree type you were hoping to add?

    That’ll help us make sure we’re covering the right use cases.

    In the meantime, you can use the description field in the Education section to clarify your degree type.

    Appreciate you surfacing this — it’s on our radar and we’ll keep you in the loop!

      I am a Doctor of Audiology - an AuD.

      It is in the realm of “doctors” like dentists and optometrists. We are doctors but not PhDs or MDs.
