The hoods are a carry-over from the times when monks, who operated these universities, wore them to protect their shaved heads in winter. The robe is an adaptation of the shoulder cape also worn by these same monks while collecting alms. Use of the academic robe came to the United States in 1754 with the founding of what is now Columbia University. In 1895, a commission of University officials adopted a universal code of design and color for the academic garb. This code has undergone several revisions in subsequent years. Styling of the robes varies for the bachelor's and master's degrees with the width of sleeve borders and length of the hood increasing with each advanced degree. Hoods are normally not used for bachelor's degrees today. Instead, the tassel colors are used to indicate the degree program.

The program is an outgrowth of the Arts and Sciences Honors program and was initiated in 1978. It is governed through the office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and administered through the Honors Coordinator. UNO colleges which implement honors programs include Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Fine Arts and Public Affairs and Community Service. As part of their Honors Program requirements, students undertake a research project that results in a Senior Honors Thesis. Students and their theses topics are listed at the end of the list of graduates. Students who have been designated in this booklet as Honors Program students have fulfilled the academic requirements of this program.
