Headings
Style and Formatting



Five levels of headings and subheadings are generally available. (If additional subheadings are needed, please consult with Ms. Harman in the Associate Dean's office.)

    The first level, used to designate chapter number, is centered and typed in all uppercase letters with the number spelled out.
    The second level, which indicates the title of the chapter, is centered with uppercase and lowercase lettering (i.e., headline style: see Turabian, 22.3.1, p. 314). There will be only one level one heading and one level two heading per chapter.
    The third level is centered and italicized with uppercase and lowercase lettering.
    The fourth level is typed flush at the left margin and italicized with uppercase and lowercase lettering; text begins, following a double space below.
    The fifth level is run in (indented) at the beginning of the paragraph, all italics, using sentence-style capitaliztion, ending in a period (which also is italicized) and followed by 2 spaces; text continues after the heading on the same line.
These heading levels are illustrated in the following example:

Headings Example 2

To enhance separation of sections of text, leave a triple-space above headings of levels 3, 4, and 5, as shown above. When a heading exceeds a single line of text, the heading should be single spaced, maintaining the specified spacing above and below it. (See "Body of Documents--Chapters" for further explanation of spacing and heading levels.)
