So who approved of Abigail Finn's Dissertation?

So Donnie described as a brilliant "Technologist" and gifted "Biologist", and since he knows about who she is, we can assume her doctorate is real. Of course she also knows herself to be laughing stock and has no real evidence of the monsters.

If I had to guess, her actual Ph.D is in technology and she merely has an associate's in biology, then went on crazy monster hunt.
