Bard College

Bard College’s commencement ceremony requires participating graduates to wear full academic regalia—including a graduation gown, graduation cap, tassel, and, where applicable, a hood or stole—following the institution’s “Academic Dress” guide.

The standard graduation gown colour for bachelor and master degree candidates is the classic academic black, paired with a black mortarboard-style graduation cap.

According to Bard’s “Academic Dress” section of its program, the distinguishing feature among degree levels often lies in the hood or tassel colour: for bachelor’s candidates, the tassel is black; for doctoral candidates, the tassel is gold.

Honor cords or stoles are not explicitly detailed in Bard’s publicly available handbooks or commencement FAQs, meaning specific colours or patterns for honor cords/stoles, or discipline-specific stoles, are not officially documented. Bard’s institutional colours and regalia details suggest that accessory colours should reflect the institution and the academic discipline, but exact mapping by degree level, major or honour status is not published. Faculty regalia and doctoral-level academic dress follow traditional academic-regalia conventions: doctoral gowns have velvet facings and sleeve bars, hoods lined in institution colours, and gold tassels for doctoral degrees. Because the exact accessory-colour codes for honor cords and stoles are not specified, product listings aiming at Bard-style regalia should highlight the foundational elements: classic black graduation gown, black graduation cap, optional tassel/cord/stole (customizable), and upgrade options for faculty/doctoral academic regalia (velvet trimmed gowns, hoods). Use keywords naturally such as graduation gown, graduation gown colour, graduation cap, academic regalia package, cap and gown tassels sets, honour cord, stoles colour, and faculty regalia to ensure strong Google organic search alignment and marketplace listing relevance for Bard College-style regalia.
