What are the different regalia colors and what do they mean?
Hoods for Th.M., S.T.M., and D.Min. graduates are trimmed in scarlet, which represents the discipline of theology; hoods for M.A. graduates are trimmed in white, which represents arts and letters; hoods for the Ph.D. graduates are trimmed in blue, which represents the discipline of philosophy. All hoods have the Seminary’s school colors, royal purple and gold on the inside. Make sure you have the appropriately colored hood. Contact the Registrar’s Office if your hood is the incorrect color. Certificate students do not wear hoods since they are not degree graduates.
