Doctoral & PhD Graduation Hoods for University Commencement

Cap and Gown Outlet supplies doctoral and PhD graduation hoods for doctoral graduates, faculty members, universities, graduate programs, academic departments and educational organizations across the United States. This category includes standalone Classic, Deluxe and Custom doctoral hood options for customers who need to complete, replace or separately configure part of their doctoral academic regalia.

Choose the Right Doctoral Academic Hood

A doctoral academic hood can incorporate multiple color elements associated with the wearer’s academic discipline and degree-granting institution. Depending on the selected product, customers can choose combinations involving velvet trim, hood lining, chevron colors and other configuration details. Because doctoral hood requirements vary among universities and degree programs, confirm the exact hood style and color specifications required for your commencement or hooding ceremony before ordering.

Classic, Deluxe & Custom Doctoral Hood Options

This collection includes Classic and Deluxe Doctoral Graduation Hoods with selectable velvet, lining and chevron color combinations, along with a Custom Doctoral / PhD Graduation Hood that provides additional configuration choices such as velvet color, hood shell color, lining, chevron and piping. Review the individual product options carefully when comparing styles, particularly when your institution provides specific academic regalia instructions.

Doctoral Hood Colors & Academic Discipline

Velvet trim and hood lining may communicate different aspects of academic dress, but customers should not choose a doctoral hood based only on a major, degree name or school colors. Academic color conventions and university requirements can differ. Use the available color information as a reference, then verify the required discipline color, institutional lining and other hood details directly with your college or university before purchasing.

Individual, Custom & Institutional Doctoral Hood Orders

Individual doctoral and PhD graduates can purchase one standalone hood to complete existing regalia, while universities, doctoral programs, faculty groups and academic departments can coordinate multiple hoods for graduating groups. When ordering for several graduates, confirm the correct degree or discipline and institutional color configuration for each wearer rather than assuming one hood specification applies to everyone.

Graduates who also need a gown, velvet tam, mortarboard or tassel can explore our Doctoral Cap and Gown Packages for additional regalia combinations. Cap and Gown Outlet is an independent academic regalia supplier and does not imply that a particular hood is approved, required or officially affiliated with a college or university unless specifically stated.
