Formatting Your Thesis or Dissertation with Microsoft Word

The video tutorials in this guide may be used to format your thesis or dissertation even though the titles refer only to the thesis.

Title page

UM-Dearborn has specific requirements for a thesis title page. See the Guidelines for Formatting Doctoral Dissertation and Master's Theses and Deep Blue Archiving web page [coming soon] for specifics. There are many ways to use Microsoft Word to create this page; one way to do this is demonstrated in the video below.

Note for dissertations: The order in which you list your committee members differs from the order on the title page of the thesis. All committee members (other than the chair or co-chairs) are listed in alphabetical order based on last name.
