Hi Aska,
This may seem out of bounds from the usual questions you receive but do you know every graduation hood colour for each faculty? I feel like there isn’t a website that has a comprehensive list, and if you do a Google search online, you can only guess a few if they explicitly write that this colour matches a certain faculty. I’m just curious to know if this is a thing…
Thanks!
hey there,
uhhhh.
a comprehensive list of every graduation hood color for every faculty at u of t?
i don’t think there is one, but there is this tiktok video that shows all the hood colors at utm.
because as the people are saying, tiktok is the new google. (i can’t tell if i’m joking). but if you are on a tiktok cleanse like i am, here is a summary of what this video shows. keep in mind that the content is specific to utm!
bachelors:
- black/white – bachelor of science, bachelor of arts
- orange/white – bachelor of business administration
- black/orange/white – bachelor of commerce
doctoral:
- dark blue/scarlet – doctoral (medical)
- scarlet/white – doctoral (graduate)
masters:
- black/cerise – master of arts
- black/maroon – master of applied science
- black/orange/grey – master in biotechnology
- black/white/orange – master of forensic accounting
- black/orange/white – master of management & professional accounting
- black/white/royal blue/orange – master of management of innovation
- black/grey/cerise – master of science
- black/dark blue/dark grey – master of science of biomedical communication
- black/grey/orange/biosphere blue – master of science in sustainability management
- black/dark brown/ivory – master of urban innovation
- black/blue/kelly-green/grey – master of science in occupational therapy
- black/slate grey/corn yellow – master of science in planning
learning that all these degrees exist was not on today’s bingo card but here we are, i guess. i think the biosphere blue color name goes hard, but who chose corn yellow?
anyways, a couple more tips if you want to start your detective career today. gaspard is the company that manages the rentals of grad gowns and they have a list of hoods online, but they don’t actually tell you the colors. so that’s a dead end. but, there’s a comprehensive list of all the faculties at u of t, which gets you a step closer.
then all you’ll have to do is match that list up to colors! set up one of those crazy bulletin boards with the red string. make sure your hair is messy, there’s a close-up shot of you sweating while writing frantically, and there’s a pile of dirty coffee mugs in the corner. attend every single u of t graduation across all three campuses to see the hood colors for yourself. if you really wanna get crazy, set up secret cameras to attend them for you and watch them all on 30 different monitors set up on the wall. don’t let the world stop you, if you want a list, make it yourself! as u of t says, defy gravity! defy it with drones. secret spy drones.*
but if you really wanted to find out for whatever reason, the office of convocation may have an internal list, but you would have to make an in-person appointment to ask.
over and out,
aska
