WHAT IS A DOCTORATE GOWN?
A Doctorate gown is an essential part of graduation regalia, worn by individuals receiving their doctoral degrees. Unlike the gowns worn for other levels of education, Doctorate gowns have specific features that set them apart. The Doctorate gown typically features full, flowing sleeves, distinctive velvet panels, and a more elaborate design compared to bachelor’s and master’s gowns.
Doctorate gowns are worn with a Doctorate hood and tam, creating a complete and cohesive set of regalia. The gown itself is a symbol of your academic achievement and signifies the advanced level of education you have attained.
Key features of Doctorate gowns include:
- Full-length design: The gown typically extends to the floor, providing a regal look to mark the significance of the occasion.
- Velvet panels: Velvet trim is typically added along the front and around the sleeves, creating a sharp, distinguished appearance.
- Sash or stripes: Some doctoral gowns feature a velvet sash or stripes on the sleeves, representing the degree earned and the academic discipline.
- Customizable colors: You can select a Doctorate gown that matches your institution's colors or the specific colors associated with your degree.
DOCTORATE GOWNS FOR EVERY DEGREE AND DISCIPLINE
At Academic Hoods, we recognize that each doctoral degree is unique, and your Doctorate gown should reflect that. Our collection includes gowns for a variety of doctoral programs, including:
1. Ph.D. Doctorate Gown
The Ph.D. Doctorate gown is the most common and traditional style of gown. It typically features black fabric with velvet panels and stripes on the sleeves, representing the advanced level of education. The gown is often worn with a Doctorate hood in colors that represent the field of study.
For those earning an Ed.D. (Doctor of Education), our gowns are available with unique color combinations to match your field of study. Doctorate gowns for education typically feature the same elegant velvet panels and full-length design, with added elements such as color-specific piping or sashes.
The M.D. Doctorate gown for medical professionals is designed with prestige in mind. These gowns are often accompanied by a white or gold trim to represent the medical field. We offer gowns with additional features for medical graduates, including exclusive colors for your Doctorate hood and tam.
4. Other Doctoral Degrees
We also offer Doctorate gowns for other fields of study, such as Law (J.D.), Business (D.B.A.), Engineering (D.Eng.), and more. Each gown can be customized to reflect the academic color coding specific to your field of study.
