135 titles.
The abstract is double spaced, including the heading, which begins two (2) inches down
from the top of the page. Note that the abstract title is underlined and that any italicized words
are not underlined (in order to indicate italics). If an abstract title contains scientific terminology
requiring italics, such terminology should be treated in the same manner. Do not use italic print
in the abstract title.
Right and left margins are the same as for the body of the thesis. Note that the author’s
name and thesis title must be identical on the title page, the approval page, and the abstract
heading. The date of graduation is the same as that shown on the title page. The number of titles

words. Acronyms, abbreviations, and initials as words. Do not number pages or paragraphs in the
abstract. Do not use footnotes or references.
