    I just want to know why this guy is wearing the sorting hat.
  • So what is the proper attire for the Master of Fine Arts ( terminal degree in the Fine ARTS ) equivalent of the PHD in Fine ARTS.
  • I have a question.  I have my juris doctorate, and wore my doctoral gown and hood for graduation.  I have returned to school, and will soon be graduating with my MBA (Masters) degree.  Which gown and hood do I wear?  Can I wear my doctoral gown, but my masters hood?  Even though I am graduating and walking for my Master's degree, should I not be allowed to show respect for my highest level of academic achievement in some way? What is suggested and/or proper?
