Who it's for

Just the title page, which is the part graduate schools format-check most strictly. Pair it with the front matter and chapter templates.

How to customize this template

  1. Copy the degree wording exactly from your graduate school's formatting guide.
  2. Use the month and year of degree conferral, not today's date, if your school requires it.
  3. List committee members as the school specifies, often with the chair first and marked "(Chair)".
  4. Check vertical spacing in the compiled PDF. The preview is close, but pdfTeX is the authority.
