Introduction:

Himmler’s (I am) a remarkably rapid and sharp learner, absorbing knowledge like a sponge.  Having been around for a great many years, he has opted to amass a still-growing collection of collegiate degrees, even inventing and teaching some of his own.

Humanity at first boasted no collegiate programs, but by the 20th century, it was becoming fairly common to earn multiple collegiate degrees.  Now, several centuries later, people are learning how to live much longer, and, naturally, it is common to earn many more.  People are living longer, so… why not?

While few, if any, will ever have chance to stumble upon his records, let alone learn who he is at this point in his development, for those who do, they will, of course, immediately notice the staggering amount of coursework completion this list of degrees indicates.  The truth is fairly obvious; even with a combination of the best genes money can buy, Matrix-style learning, shortened online classes, and all the free time anyone could ever hope to have, this record is either botched… or proof Auz is far older than most.​​

PhD:

A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD, Ph.D., or DPhil; Latin: “philosophiae doctor” or “doctor philosophiae”) is the highest university degree that is conferred after a course of study by universities in most English-speaking countries. PhDs are awarded for programs across the whole breadth of academic fields. As an earned research degree, those studying for a PhD are usually required to produce original research that expands the boundaries of knowledge, normally in the form of a thesis or dissertation, and defend their work against experts in the field. The completion of a PhD is often a requirement for employment as a university professor, researcher, or scientist in many fields.

This high-level degree typically takes average people at least a few years to earn, and that’s after they graduate with a Master’s in their given field.  75 PhDs follow, so 75×3 means Auz may have spent as many as three centuries earning them.  (The reason it isn’t 75 degrees multiplied by 8 years per PhD is that most of the prerequisites are identical, so the longer he went back for more degrees, the fewer pre-req’s he had to take to earn each; the first several PhDs took ~8 years a piece, with later PhDs taking only half that time or less.)

1. Acoustics & Harmonics:  the science of how sounds can be used and combined for construction, destruction, image focusing, levitation, riot control (including in a positive way, such as keeping large groups of people happy and dancing at concerts), scanning, stealth applications, etc.

Grand Total:

356 years of formal schooling (spread out over 5 centuries)?  Who on Earth stays enrolled that long?  Why would anyone ever want to do such a thing?  Auz loves learning, elasticizing his mind, and meeting new people with great ideas; there are few better places to facilitate all that than at academies, colleges, and universities.

And, actually, he has repeatedly gone back for further higher education during the entire span of years from 2001 to 2500; that’s more than double the minimum time needed to earn all of the many degrees on this page.  Maybe he wasn’t stressed or rushing at all.  His 95 degrees (not counting all he knows about Thaumaturgy) may have come at an entirely comfortable pace.

Degrees-earned Averaged Over the Centuries:

• 2000-2015:  3 official, ~10 equivalents due to ‘time in the field’, as well as due to extracurricular/hobby studies
• 2020-2090s:  ~20 during these decades (official ones; additional equivalent/’field’ degrees)
• 2100s:  ~20 during these decades; ~50 total (graduating at the rate of 1 new degree every 5 years)
• 2200s:  ~20 during these decades; ~70 total
