Following each of the style guides below is a list of the departments, programs, and institutes that have officially adopted that particular title as the authority for the style to be followed in all dissertations and theses in that program. All dissertations and theses within a department (or specific division of a department as noted below) follow the same style guide. Where there is conflict, Graduate School specifications supercede departmental or division style. Where neither departmental nor Graduate School specifications resolve a question, the format specified in Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations applies. Be consistent in use of the adopted style throughout the document.
