Commencement Traditions The Academic Regalia The history of academic dress emanates from the medieval European universities of the fourteenth century. European universities continue to follow varied patterns in cut and color of gown and type of headdress. United States universities have standardized the academic dress so that its features are common and uniform throughout the country.

The Gown The gown is ordinarily black for academic degrees, but certain universities have authorized the use of colored gowns. The color of the gowns for the associate degrees has generally not been standardized. For other degrees the pattern varies with the degree held: pointed sleeves for the bachelor’s degree; long, closed sleeves, lunate at the bottom, with slits at the elbow for the master’s degree; round and full sleeves for the doctor’s degree. The bachelor’s and master’s gowns have no trimmings. The doctor’s gown is faced down the front with the black velvet or velvet the color of the subject in which the degree was granted. Three bars of the same material also appear on the sleeves.

The Hood The size of the hood varies with the degree held, the bachelor’s hood being the smallest and the doctor’s hood the largest. The doctor’s hood is also distinguished by panels lacking on other hoods. The velvet trim of the hood is of the color pertaining to the subject of the degree as outlined below: Art and Letters Business Administration Education

The Cap The cap is usually a mortarboard the same color as the gown. The bachelor’s and master’s tassel is black; the doctor’s tassel is gold. Cerro Coso honor graduate tassels are gold. Many colleges and universities have adopted tassel colors to represent the school in which the degree is granted.
