TEMPLATES
Microsoft Word Template
The Word Template contains most of the formatting necessary to prepare a dissertation or thesis manuscript. However, the SDSU Dissertation and Thesis Manual (DTM) contains the rules and regulations than should be incorporated into a template. Therefore, the DTM and the Template must be used together. Using the template without the DTM could result in a rejected manuscript.
