Dr. Chris Brown will see you now ... because the artist now has an honorary doctorate!

Harvest Christian University -- a private faith-based school in Dallas, Texas -- awarded Brown a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Visual & Performing Arts Friday.

Doc Brown posed with his honorary degree in full graduation regalia ... a massive grin on his face as he showed off the honor.

In his Instagram post, Brown wrote, "I DID A THING" -- understatement of the year!

It's been a month full of good and bad for the star ... who celebrated his 37th birthday, dropped a new album that got so-so reviews, and also had to deal with a trespasser showing up to his home multiple times.

Basically, Chris earned a win after all that ... and, we'd say this is a pretty big one!

Congrats, Doc!
