The level of the degree is shown by the size of the hood, the width of the velvet trimming and — in the case of doctoral degree — by the shape. Master’s hoods are three and one-half feet long; doctoral hoods are four feet long.
The color of the trim identifies the discipline of the degree. For example, doctorates in Arts, Letters and Humanities are white. Education is light blue. Fine Arts is brown. Music is pink. Nursing is apricot.
The institution that awarded the degree is shown by the hood’s lining. Because there are so many universities and a limited number of colors, many schools use multiple colors on the lining of the hood, often with the contrasting color in the shape of a chevron.
Shenandoah University’s colors are blue and red. Faculty who have served 20 years or more wear a red and blue shoulder cord on their regalia.
