Honorary Degrees Honorary degrees (honoris causa) are given in recognition of merited humanitarian service and investment, as well as scholarly and creative attainments. Harvard University awarded the first honorary degree in 1692, and American institutions of higher education have selectively presented them since.

Belmont University has honored meritorius individuals through honorary degrees and, from 1978 to 1999, through Collegiatus.

Collegiatus recipients are individuals whose support of Christian higher education has been of special relevance and significant continuity in the life of the University. Once the University began offering doctoral degrees as a part of its graduate educational program, the Board of Trustees approved the selective awarding of honorary degrees to replace recognition into Collegiatus.

Previous inductees into Collegiatus are now recognized as honorary doctorate recipients. Honorary degree recipients of the University are: Barbara Massey Rogers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2022

Academic Regalia The academic regalia worn at Belmont University commencement and other formal academic ceremonies began as the dress of scholars and students in the universities of the Middle Ages. One of the most distinctive features of this dress is the hood, which signifies both the degree awarded and the institution. The lining of the hood displays the color of the institution that granted the degree, such as blue and red for Belmont University, while the border indicates the discipline. A partial list of colors of the borders with their respective disciplines is as follows:

Scarlet..................................................................................................................Theology Dark Blue.........................................................................................................Philosophy White...................................................................................................... Humanities/Arts Golden Yellow.........................................................................................................Science Pink.........................................................................................................................
