What is a Graduation Gown?
Academic dress is a traditional form of clothing for academic settings, mainly tertiary education, worn mainly by those who have obtained a university degree, or hold a status that entitles them to assume them. It is also known as academical dress, academicals, and, in the United States, as academic regalia.

Which graduation gown colors mean?
MDs graduate with hoods of bright kelly green and those with degrees in health care fields wear similar green colors.
Physical science majors wear stoles or hoods of sage green, and pharmacy graduates wear a more olive shade of green. However, public health majors wear salmon, and nursing majors wear apricot.
What should I wear under my graduation gown?
Women are best wearing either dress pants or a shorter skirt underneath the gown, while men should choose khakis or dark-colored dress pants.
Avoid brightly coloured bottoms if you choose to wear dress pants or a longer skirt, as they can be seen below the hem of the gown, and stick to darker colors.
