- 1Plural of PhD.

Note
A plain -s plural, written without an apostrophe: two PhDs, not two PhD's. It can count the degrees themselves (the department awarded twelve PhDs) or, by a natural stretch, the people who hold them (the PhDs in the room). The singular also appears with periods as Ph.D., so match the plural to whichever spelling a text already uses.
