Hooding Ceremony2018

Candidates for and holders of master's and doctoral degrees wear hoods over

their robes. The hood symbolizes a heavy burden. The hood identifies the level

of the degree, the field of learning and the institution that awards it. The color of

the trim declares the major of the field of learning; drab represents Commerce,

Accountancy, and Business. The colors that line the hood identify the university

awarding the degree; Wake Forest University colors are old gold and black.

In the School of Business, specific degree groupings are also designated by

tassel color; Master of Arts in Management candidates wear white, Master

of Business Administration candidates wear drab, and Master of Science in

Accountancy and Master of Science in Business Analytics candidates wear gold.
