For its Commencement Ceremonies, ISMMS (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai) follows a traditional academic-regalia system with degree-specific gowns, hoods, and tassels.

The gown color at Mount Sinai is blue for their academic regalia — as stated in their commencement program, rather than the more common black gown.

According to their academic-regalia guide, PhD and other advanced-degree holders wear hoods lined with the institution’s colors (reflecting Mount Sinai) and with velvet binding that corresponds to the field of study (discipline).

The velvet trim (binding) colors for various disciplines are explicitly listed in their commencement documentation: for example, “Medicine = dark green,” “Education = light blue,” “Science = golden yellow,” “Philosophy = dark blue,” etc.

There is no clearly published information in these program materials about tassel colors tied to honors cords or stoles at ISMMS. I found no official ISMMS-published color chart for honor cords or stoles in their publicly available commencement or academic regalia PDFs.<

Regarding faculty regalia, ISMMS does not publicly provide a detailed “faculty regalia color-chart.” However, given their hooding practices, it is likely that faculty use black or blue gowns with hoods lined in Mount Sinai’s institutional colors and velvet trim by discipline, consistent with academic-heraldry tradition.

Finally, ISMMS’s graduation logistics state that for master’s (GSBS) students, regalia must be ordered by a specific deadline (e.g., May 1) via Herff Jones, and the school itself pays for the rental for on-time orders.
