Baccalaureate and Master Package

The regalia package for bachelor’s and master’s degrees will include ONE EACH: black gown, hood, black mortarboard cap, and a red and gray tassel (directions on how to wear your hood are included). Students receiving more than one degree will receive a second hood (if applicable) without charge.

Additional Distinctions

University academic honor distinctions, such as cords, stoles or pins will be distributed by the designated departments. Please inquire with the group for details. Students with double degrees (from two different colleges) will need to decide with which degree they will line up, process and sit during the ceremony. Your hood (color of velvet stripe) must also reflect this decision.

Doctor of Philosophy Package

The attire package for Ph.D. candidates will include ONE EACH: red and gray gown, hood, black tam, and a red and gray tassel (directions on how to wear your hood are included).

Academic Hoods

Your academic hood represents your university and degree. The inside of your hood will consist of red and gray stripes which represent the Stevens university colors. The velvet stripe on the tops of your academic hood represents the degree you will earn. Please make sure that the velvet stripe on your hood corresponds to the degree you will earn. You may not opt for a different color. They are as follows:
