Although European institutions continue to showgreat diversity in their specifications on academic apparel, current practices in thiscountry follow the code established by the American Council on Education.Academic apparel indicates the most advanced degree held by the wearer. Gowns forthe bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees are distinguished by the variation in sleevelength and by the width of the edging. The color of the edging of the hood indicates thesubject of the degree (e.g., white for arts, yellow for science, light blue for education,dark blue for philosophy) and the colors of the lining of the hood indicate the institutionfrom which the degree was received. For Montana State University Billings the colorsare blue and gold. Apparel for the doctoral degree is distinguished by the panels on thesides of the hood, the gold tassel on the cap, and the velvet trim on the gown.
