Vita
The vita is a brief biographical sketch of the writer written in paragraph format which
provides information for future readers. The Vita includes the author’s full name, degrees
awarded; publications and experience in teaching, business, and industry; military service, if any.
The Vita should also include a contact email address and the name of the typist.
The vita should ideally be one page. Because your electronic thesis or dissertation will be
electronically published, be aware that certain personal information could be used to steal your
identity. For this reason, you are advised not to include your date of birth, physical address,
parents’ names, or children’s names.
The Vita is not an optional page. All theses and dissertation must include a Vita as the
last entry in the Table of Contents and as the last page of the thesis or dissertation.
