B. The Board shall approve the application for a supplemental license for an honorary degree if the honorary degree is consistent with the institution’s currently offered degree-granting programs. C. An accredited private degree-granting institution whose application for a supplemental license for an honorary degree is approved shall ensure that the honorary degree identifies in its title or name and bears on its face that it is an honorary degree.
