I had an art history professor that insisted on being called doctor; she said she'd put in a lot of time and spent a lot of money to get that degree, and so she wanted to get her money's worth.

She was a lot of fun.

Isn't professor a higher title though?

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago

No; adjunct faculty can also rightly be called professor without having achieved a doctorate. I've had a few professors that had BAs and MFAs (esp. since I'm not sure that there are PhD programs for fine arts).

Interesting; I've literally never heard of this (EU)

[-] HelixDab2@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Could just be the schools that I've gone to, could be some weird thing that the US does that no one else does (kinda like SI v. metric).

It depends what country you're in
