Writing the Thesis or Dissertation: Style Guides

In writing a thesis or dissertation, students must follow the formatting guidelines in the Format Manual prepared by the Graduate College. See also Frequently Asked Questions: Theses and Dissertations. Students in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice may use the APA style guide or the style used by the journal Criminology. Students who choose to follow Criminology's style must submit a copy of an article that includes all elements used in the dissertation so that the document can be checked accordingly. They should also include Criminology's author guidelines.
