academic title
A degree or abbreviated educational status that can be appended to a person's name, especially for professional recognition.
The academic title refers to any degree or initialized educational status which can be appended to the person's name, especially for purposes of professional recognition.
The title expresses an educational qualification or status associated with the person. Its written form may be abbreviated without changing that academic basis.
A job title identifies the person's position in an employing organization. Holding a position and holding an academic qualification are different facts, even when both appear with the name.
