Babcock Graduate School of Management
Candidates for and holders of master’s and doctoral degrees wear hoods over their robes. The hood symbolizes a heavy burden. The hood identifies the level of the degree, the field of learning and the institution that awards it. The color of the trim declares the major field of learning; tan represents business. The colors that line the hood identify the university awarding the degree; Wake Forest University colors are old gold and black.
