- Comatose51, on 11/07/2007, -0/+5Animal husbandry... it's not as kinky as you think
- xenuxenuts, on 11/07/2007, -2/+7"Commerce, Accountancy, Business
Drab"
aww, how fitting. - Comatose51, on 11/07/2007, -0/+5What would computer science wear? It's called science but more akin to engineering but really fits closest to mathematics, which isn't listed. I guess we'll go with monochrome green.
- PaperMonkey, on 11/07/2007, -0/+5oh and FTA... "For example, sleeves in the bachelor’s gown are pointed, in the masters gown they are oblong and the arms project at the elbow, and in the doctor’s gown they are bell shaped. Only the doctor’s gown has velvet facing"
- imightbewrong, on 11/07/2007, -0/+3Husbandry?
- Ninnux, on 11/07/2007, -0/+3What about mathematics? The biological sciences is royal blue.
@LeRenard :: I still don't know what the three velvet stripes on my gown signified. Does anyone know?
Likewise, I think at the PhD level, the style of cap can be a personal choice. Some wore beret-like caps at my graduation. Again, maybe that's just UT - DreKor, on 11/07/2007, -0/+3I'm pretty sure that, in the states, you would still be an environmental studies-ist.
- lilmoocow, on 11/07/2007, -3/+5Agriculture = maize. No pun intended?
- RogaDanar, on 11/07/2007, -0/+2So is that person on there a theological accountant?
- Nidy1, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Psychology?
- PaperMonkey, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1huh.... in the states I would be an Engineer... My degree is in Environmental studies but my hood was orange. My wife has an Arts degree and her hood was green... go figure.
- KarthVader, on 11/07/2007, -1/+2In May, it'll be golden yellow for me. Then, hopefully in another 4 years, I'll be wearing green also. Hopefully.
- ryan899, on 11/07/2007, -4/+5Yeah I remember laughing at the male music majors. Maybe it wasn't for the pink tassel, but more for the fact none of them will get jobs with their degree.
- fakeid781, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1mines from the internet
- PaperMonkey, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1At my university the PhDs do have the velvet stripes on their gowns but their hoods have fur trim and they don't have the mortar board caps they have weird looking ones but maybe that's just at my school..
- AxeSwinger, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1No in education the titles represent the work put into attaining that knowedge. A king is so because of birth but for the last 300 years even poor people could attain a doctorate, albeit it was not as easy as someone from wealth.
- inactive, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1At my college there was an uprising over this crap because they were charging $150 for cheap, thin polyester gowns all of which had defective zippers (email from the college administration recommended/insisted that we use safety pins and didn't address our $$$ at all). In the end, 90% of the students wore suits/dresses and the cap.
- AxeSwinger, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Little midterm anxitety? Stop playng Halo3!!! Study and get laid you will feel better, I promise.
- apolkhanov, on 11/08/2007, -1/+2I remember in Soviet Russia Ms.Eng. degree papers are Red if you complete with 85% and up, or blue below 85%. We had a joke that those who have Red degree papers have blue face due to extensive studying and those who end up having Blue degree papers keep their faces happily red.
Here in US on often when I conduct interview I ask candidates if they can tell me their GRE. Red faces usually signify poor grades, hehehe. - brjndr, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Let's get a role call going.
Digg this comment if you wore purple. - PaperMonkey, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Well it was worth a shot no..? ;P
- shockwavedave, on 11/07/2007, -1/+1I agree, pink sucks. However.....I did get a music job right out of college, even with a performance degree.
- wickedbuddha, on 11/07/2007, -1/+1I know...my engineering program uses red
- Chuck95, on 11/07/2007, -1/+1Is this like a private school or North Eastern thing? I know at Texas A&M all we had was a cheap black gown and hat... no colors for us. Course mine would have been "brown" according to this anyways so it probably wouldn't have helped much.
- Zipko, on 11/07/2007, -1/+1I just want to know who made KME(math) colors pink & silver
- tMANwi, on 11/07/2007, -0/+0No love for the high tech majors?
- wxdotz, on 11/07/2007, -0/+0Computer Science is golden yellow.
- cannibalpr, on 11/07/2007, -0/+0Mine is orange! and it will also be green in a near future
- elstevo, on 11/07/2007, -0/+0my guess is cs would fall under science, along with math
- drizzlelicious, on 11/07/2007, -2/+1Ooh, my colors will be pink and drab
- halavais, on 11/07/2007, -2/+1Crimson is for journalism. Many communication degrees use gold (social science).
- gojcaj, on 11/07/2007, -3/+2Orange you glad you weren't brown (forestry)?
- kamikaze87, on 11/07/2007, -2/+1Was it by any chance a shade of Ron Burgundy?
- Hemloch, on 11/07/2007, -1/+0In three long, arduous years I'll be crimson. Sweet.
- inactive, on 11/07/2007, -3/+2I don't get these color pallet Digg entries lately.
- Wolfsoap, on 11/07/2007, -5/+3Well color me fascinated.
- dillyhoo, on 11/08/2007, -8/+3Mine's off-white with black ink.
- MattL920, on 11/07/2007, -6/+1Music is pink?! WTF, that's just insulting
- LeRenard, on 11/07/2007, -5/+0They tell you all this in college. There are discrepancies, though. Not every university gives the same colors for the same degrees, especially when it's a modern major like "MIS". Is that Business, Mathematics, Computer Science? They left out that the cut of the gown denotes degree, for instance, PhDs have three velvet stripes on their sleeve, and rounded sleeve cuffs denote a Master's.
- inactive, on 11/07/2007, -8/+1dress codes, titles, all those are remnants of royalty. take a look at a european country having its constitution lately or after a successful revolutionary war against oppressors, no titles, no dress codes no kings. take a look at england, its system was stable for the last 10 billion years and understandably they wouldn't want to risk it. they have titles and other codes still. and they still have royalty. it's legacy.
- MikeonTV, on 11/07/2007, -9/+2Thats right folks - colours are everywhere.
- vroom101, on 11/07/2007, -33/+2RED -- that's the color of many, many, many, many college degrees in the U.S. of A. Let me explain:
#1. Very last college exam...it was perfect...vision of a much-needed higher GPA danced before the eyes...you reached out to grab it -- alas! when the exam is graded your and the professor's definition of perfect is a grade letter apart, yours is higher and the prof's is lower = you see RED!
#2. Loan...edit...Loans to be paid off and you have no job = personal budget in the RED!
#3. On that very last college final exam your answer to one question was so brillant you deemed it T.D.W. -- Truly DIGG Worthy...right there and then, during the exam, you made the submit...40 DIGGS in 15 minutes -- COOL!...finished the exam, checked the submit, it has an astonishing 150 DIGGS in 45 minutes, WOW!, no doubt it's going to The Front Page -- higher GPA, Top 2000 Digger Status, and College Graduate all in one week, un-be-lee-va-ble!...so you turn in the exam, prof eyeballs it, & whispers "look at my screen"...ooooh noz!...it turns out the professor is a Digger and the submit -- now with 250 DIGGS and a big stack of happy comments -- fills his screen! plus, PLUS prof's got an IM window open to the DIGG's Admins explaining that your submit is an answer to an in-progress exam, OOPS!...but wait it gets worse...your eye inadvertantly looks at your exam and you see a BLANK SPOT under that question you brilliantly answered...well you get the picture which = your face, due to much embarrassment, is RED!
