Thesis Format and Style Guidelines

After successful completion of the Thesis Defense, students will complete the following steps.

  1. Make all final revisions and prepare one final manuscript according to the following guidelines
    • The manuscript should be double-spaced in Times New Roman 12 point font.
    • The left margin should be 1.5.
    • All other margins, top, right, and bottom, should be 1 inch.
    • Page numbers should be placed in a header: top right, ½ from the top, numeral only.
    • Front matter should be prepared.
  2. Submit an electronic copy of the manuscript, including front matter, in one document to the chair of the M.A. in Writing Program. The chair will review the formatting and alert students to any necessary changes.
  3. Once the manuscript has been approved by the chair, students will
    • submit one final electronic copy to the chair that will become part of the Division of Humanities digital thesis archive
    • print one copy of the complete manuscript, including front matter, on 100% cotton fiber paper. The signature page must include original signatures. This copy will be bound and will become part of the Division of Humanities Thesis Archive.
*If students would like to have a bound copy, they must submit an additional manuscript, including front matter and original signatures, and a $105.00 check made out to NSU to the chair. All manuscripts should be submitted at the same time.
