Cameron Students posing for a picture on Campus

Cameron University will hold a hooding ceremony for students who completed the requirements for any of these post-graduate degrees in December 2024 or who will complete requirements in May 2025, July 2025 or December 2025:


  • Master of Arts in Mental Health
  • Master of Business Administration
  • Master of Education
  • Master of Education in Reading
  • Master of Science in Behavioral Sciences
  • Master of Science in Educational Leadership
  • Master of Science in Organizational Leadership

The hooding ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. on Friday, May 9, 2025, in Aggie Gymnasium. Similar to Commencement, the hooding ceremony has very specific regalia requirements. The master’s degree candidate is responsible for acquiring the correct robe, mortarboard, tassel, and the hood that signifies their degree, and must bring these items to the hooding ceremony. These are available from the Aggie Bookstore.

Hooding candidates should also select a faculty member from their field of study to place the hood on them during the ceremony. It is the student’s responsibility to confirm this with their selected faculty prior to the May 9 ceremony.

A professional firm, Candid Color Photography, will have staff at the hooding ceremony to take photos of graduate students as they are hooded. These photos will be available for purchase directly from the photographer.

Master’s degree recipients will also be eligible to participate alongside Cameron undergraduates during the university’s Commencement at 7:30 p.m. that day in Cameron Stadium.
