Kirsch received an honorary Master's degree in councelling |
The Johns Hopkins University School of Education recently had its first four-legged graduate. The golden retriever named Kirsch received an honorary Master of Science in Counseling for attending all of his owner’s classes. The service dog donned a cap and gown along with his owner, Carlos Mora, and as the two walked across the stage, the following statement was read:
"Our last counseling degree graduate to walk across the stage tonight is Carlos Mora and his service dog, Kirsch. Since Kirsch sat through every class with Carlos, both will be receiving a master's degree in mental health counseling. We want everyone to know that Kirsch was not charged for his degree."
Like the other graduates’ diplomas, Kirsch’s is signed by School of Education Dean David Andrews and Vice Dean of Academic Affairs Dr. Cheryl Holcomb-McCoy.

Would the same honorary award be given to someone attending classes without registering?
