Thesis Preparation and Materials

  • The format of your thesis or dissertation must follow the guidelines found in the Drexel University Thesis Manual, which is linked below and maintained by the Office of Graduate Studies, in addition to any guidelines set by your academic department. Your advisor is responsible for reviewing and approving both the content and the formatting of your thesis or dissertation. Their final approval is noted through the eForms process outlined above.
  • Please note that ProQuest's ETD Administrator tool also provides guidance on preparing your manuscript for submission, including guidelines on formatting, which is also referenced in Drexel's Thesis Manual.
  • The official Drexel University logo must be used for the title page.
  • In preparation to submit, we recommend setting up an account in ProQuest's ETD Administrator tool. You should also review the information and Frequently Asked Questions on the Libraries' website, which includes submission instructions and options for embargo, copyright, printing and binding. Finally, you should also review the ProQuest resources and guidelines.
