I wonder what the response would be if she applied to a “real” university. I think if what has been said here is true (and I don’t have any reason to doubt it) she would be laughed out of the registrar’s office!

Now that I think of it, a degree in human sexuality — she shouldn’t have needed a degree to talk about that, being a 20+ year porn star. Neither should Nina Hartley, Jenna Jameson and other long-term porn performers. I don’t see them clamoring to be called “Doctor” (although Nina is a legally qualified nurse). Maybe Sharon shouldn’t either.

According to her bio at IMBD she, "Earned her Ph.D. from the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco, an unaccredited facility that is not recognized by any University or College."

I thought all the diploma mills were shut down years ago. I wonder if that place she “bought” that degree from still exists, I would like to have a doctorate (I already have a Bachelors in Business Administration majoring in Accounting from a state university, fully accredited). I know that diploma mills existed in the 50’s and 60’s, but one existing in the late 90’s was news to me! I wonder if she received federal financial aid to pay for that “degree” (Pell Grant, SEOG grant, Stafford/Ford Loan, etc.).

And youd be wrong, you see Sharon has no post graduate degree from any accredited University her degree is essentially store bought. there was no 6 years of class time, no dissertation, no published thesis, no defense of a published thesis…and therein lies my point she isn’t a Doctor and she isn’t a PhD. She has no Bachelors degree and no Masters. The only FORMAL education she has is a GED.

The problem with “Doctor” is that it applies to anyone with that degree (requiring six years of classwork and a dissertation) but most think it means “Medical Doctor”. Sharon’s degree is not in medicine. I personally would not use that term in reference to AIM if I were there and her because of this fact — and she should not, either. To say that the years of post-secondary education would not add up to an associates (2 yr) degree is likely wrong, however. No matter what her degree is in, she had to put that six years of class time and write her dissertation — that is much longer than an associates degree. In fact, in order to get a doctorate, you must also have a bachelor’s degree (4 yr.) and a masters degree (an additional 2 years). Don’t get me wrong, Sharon’s use of “Doctor” for a medical facility is wrong and misleading, but saying she doesn’t even have an associates degree (likely she went right to a bachelor’s degree) like she didn’t put in the time for her doctorate is wrong also.

Maybe you didn’t notice but that bit was a QUOTE from AVN….
