Academic Dress

The academic dress of Carleton University is a compromise between the style of hoods outlined in the American Intercollegiate Code and the dress of the ancient foundations of Britain and America. All three hoods, Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctor's, are of the simple or Oxford shape. The Bachelor's hood is made of black stuff, the Master's and the Doctor's of black silk, and all are lined with silver silk with two chevrons, one of red and one of black. From Bachelor's to Doctor's the hoods are progressively longer and opened to show more and more of the lining.

The velvet border of the hoods, 5 cm. in width for Bachelor's, 7.5 cm. for Master's and 8 cm. for Doctor's, denotes the degree granted, according to the following colour combinations: Architecture, cerise; Arts, white; Commerce, camel brown; Computer Science, royal blue; Engineering, orange; Humanities, white with a red cord sewn slightly in from the lower border; Industrial Design, dark cardinal; International Business, camel brown with a red cord sewn slightly in from the lower border; Journalism, white with a black cord sewn slightly in from the lower border; Management Studies, camel brown with a black cord sewn slightly in from the lower border; Mathematics, hunter green; Music, Venetian pink; Public Administration, pea-cock blue; Science, golden yellow; Social Work, cream; Doctor of Philosophy, purple.

The Master's and Bachelor's gowns, to be worn with the above hoods, are of full length, made of black stuff, with a gathered yoke behind, and long open-fronted sleeves. The Doctoral gown is of full style, made of fine royal blue cloth with facings of light blue silk, with a full gathered yoke behind, and closed sleeves with an opening at the elbows.

The gown of the Honorary Doctor of Laws, Literature, Science, Engineering, Architecture or Fine Arts is a blue robe with bell-shaped sleeves, made of fine royal blue cloth with facings and sleeves in light blue silk. The hood is made of the same material as the gown, has the same lining as that for the degrees granted by examination, and is bordered with dark mauve for the degree of Doctor of Laws, vibrant blue for the degree of Doctor of Literature, red for the degree of Doctor of Science, orange for the degree of Doctor of Engineering, cerise for the degree of Doctor of Architecture, and dark cardinal for the degree of Doctor of Fine Arts.
