Commencement at the University of Arkansas is more than a milestone—it is the embodiment of the Razorback spirit. It marks the culmination of walks past Old Main, late nights of studying, seeing generations of graduates honored along Senior Walk, and joining thousands of fans in Calling the Hogs. As you cross the stage in your cap and gown beneath the lights of Bud Walton Arena, surrounded by the cheers of family and classmates, you are not simply receiving a degree—you are adding your name to the cardinal and white legacy that unites generations of Razorbacks.
Bachelor’s Regalia for the University of Arkansas
University of Arkansas bachelor’s graduates cross the stage in a traditional matte black gown, sustainably tailored from recycled fibers, with discreet side pockets and a neckline loop to secure stoles. A hidden front hook allows for either a traditional closed silhouette or an open-front style, giving you the freedom to showcase your outfit beneath. The University of Arkansas bachelor cap and gown set includes a mortarboard cap and tassel with a year charm, specific to your U of A college requirements. Designed to be lightweight and breathable, the gown celebrates graduates from the Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences, Sam M. Walton College of Business, College of Engineering, College of Education and Health Professions, Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences, and programs across the university, all while reflecting the University of Arkansas’s enduring commitment to sustainability.
Doctoral Regalia for the University of Arkansas
Doctoral graduates step into the U of A’s most prestigious attire: tailored crepe black gowns accented with red piping, plush black velvet front panels, and three black velvet chevrons on each bell sleeve. The doctoral hood, lined in luminous red satin with a bold white chevron, is trimmed in blue velvet to denote the Ph.D. discipline or light blue velvet to denote the Ed.D discipline. The ensemble is completed with an adjustable eight-sided black velvet tam and a gold bullion tassel for an added touch of prestige. Each regalia set includes a garment bag and carrying case, supporting not only commencement at Bud Walton Arena but also a lifetime of ceremonial use at future hooding ceremonies, convocations, and commencements.
