School of Education
The banner of the School of Education features the fleur de lys, the flower of the lily or iris, symbolic of royalty
throughout the ages, but, in the case of the School, representative of that most royal of callings, teaching. The three torches
represent the three levels of education – the child, the adolescent, and the adult. Their silver colors represent the sincerity that
all teachers must have and the peace that knowledge brings.

One of the oldest academic traditions is the wearing of academic regalia. Academic institutions throughout the world
have created a wide variety of customs including distinctive dress, color and ceremony to indicate the accomplishments
of scholars. The wearing of regalia dates from the Middle Ages, when the gowns had the practical purpose
of keeping scholars warm in cold and drafty buildings. English traditions originating at Oxford and
Cambridge led to the development of American academic regalia.
By the 20th century, institutions of higher learning in the United States had adopted a
well-defined code of academic costume, which now includes the identification of different
academic degrees by distinctive gowns, hoods and colors.
For instance, the baccalaureate gown is worn closed and is identified by long, pointed sleeves.
Doctoral gowns may be worn open, and they are distinguished by velvet panels around the
neck and down the front of the gown. Three horizontal black velvet bars, or the color
representing the wearer’s degree, also mark the doctorate.
In America, the hood is the most colorful feature of the academic regalia. The bachelor’s
hood, when worn, is comparatively short; the master’s, a bit longer; and the doctorate’s,
at four feet, reaches far down the back.
The outside of the hood is black and bordered with a 2-, 3-, or 5-inch band of color
representing the degree received. At UTB/TSC, the hooding is a special occasion
because the master or doctoral hood, a symbol of the degree, is formally draped about
the neck of the graduate by the Dean.
Colors used in the academic regalia for master's degrees are:
White: Master of Arts; Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies
Drab: Master of Business Administration
Light Blue: Master of Education
Gold: Master of Science; Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies
