ACADEMIC REGALIA
Many colorful robes are seen at college and university graduation ceremonies. Academic
regalia date to the medieval origins of the university, when most scholars were also members of
religious orders. Robes were also needed in those days to keep warm.
Today’s academic robes are largely standardized, although individual universities often make
exceptions. Bachelor’s, master’s and doctor’s robes are typically black, but differ in style. The
bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves, the master’s has oblong sleeves, and the doctoral gown
has bell-shaped sleeves. The doctor’s gown is also trimmed in the front with black velvet, with
three velvet crossbars on each sleeve.
At UW-Stout, faculty and advanced-degree graduates also wear traditional hoods. The doctor’s
hood is longer than the master’s, and has a wider velvet edging. For both master’s and doctor’s
hoods, the hood is lined with the academic colors of the granting institution (UW-Stout’s
academic colors are blue and white), and the velvet trimming marks the academic discipline of
the degree.
The UW-Stout Chancellor, University Marshal, Assistant Marshals, and any other faculty
member holding a doctorate who so desires, may be seen wearing the UW-Stout doctoral robe.
This robe is blue, representing the university’s academic colors, with black doctoral-style velvet
edging and sleeve crossbars. The UW-Stout doctoral hood is lined with blue and white - the
academic colors.
Mortarboard tassels for UW-Stout bachelor’s graduates are white for those being awarded a
bachelor of arts degree, yellow for the bachelor of science degree.
UW-Stout Honors Program graduates are recognized with a royal blue satin stole. Graduating
students who are members of recognized learned and/or professional societies may be honored
for special academic achievement by wearing regalia such as a neck honor cord, ribbon, or
suspended medallion.
The graduate hoods awarded today are trimmed in velvet with the academic color of the
discipline, as follows:
