Master’s Graduation Hoods for College & University Commencement

Cap and Gown Outlet supplies master’s graduation hoods for graduate students, colleges, universities, academic departments and educational organizations across the United States. This collection includes standalone academic hoods for graduates who need to complete or replace part of their master’s regalia, with standard and custom hood options for different degree, discipline and institutional color requirements.

Choose the Right Master’s Academic Hood

A master’s academic hood is worn over the graduation gown and can use different colors to represent the graduate’s academic discipline and degree-granting institution. Hood construction typically includes an outer shell, velvet trim and colored lining. Because academic hood requirements can vary by degree and university, confirm the exact specifications provided by your institution before ordering.

This collection includes a Master Academic Graduation Hood as well as a Master Custom Graduation Hood for customers who need additional color configuration options. When comparing hoods, review the available velvet, shell, lining and chevron choices provided for the individual product rather than selecting a hood based only on its photograph or your school colors.

Master’s Hood Colors, Degree Colors & Institutional Colors

The colors used in academic hoods can communicate different information. Under commonly used academic dress traditions, velvet trim may correspond with the academic discipline, while the hood lining may represent colors associated with the degree-granting institution. However, the correct color is not always determined by a graduate’s major alone. Use our Master’s Graduation Hood Guide to understand common hood components and academic color traditions, then verify your exact degree, discipline, hood style and required colors with your college or university.

Individual, Custom & Group Master’s Hood Orders

Individual graduates can purchase a standalone master’s hood to complete existing commencement attire, while colleges, universities, graduate programs and academic departments can coordinate multiple hoods for graduating groups. For group orders involving different degrees or disciplines, confirm the required hood configuration for each program before ordering.

Graduates who also need a gown, cap and tassel can explore our Master’s 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.
