NCSU Thesis Class — ncsuthesis-0.3.1

An updated NCSU thesis class, based on the standard LaTeX book class. This template can also be found on the ETD website, along with other thesis and LaTeX info.

This version fixes many of the bugs of the older template (the class files for that version were called ncsudoctoralthesis.cls, ncsuthesis3.cls, and ncsuthesis4.cls). If you are still using the older version and have problems, you may consider switching to this class. If you do switch, you will need to put some work into changing your tex files to conform to the new class, as the new class is not not compatible with the old classes.

This is the second release. Bugfixes and suggestions are welcome. Theses are complex documents and one thesis class will never meet all needs, but I'll be glad to meet as many as practically possible.

• Download the current version (v0.4) of the thesis class and template files. (Recommended for most users.)
• Get the developer repository from github. (Not recommended for most users.)

Template Examples

• PhD example with defaults settings
• MS example with defaults settings
• PhD example with non-default settings

Usage notes

• The template is tested using pdflatex. Unless you have some need to use the dvi latex compiler, using pdflatex will save you some hassles. For instance, an unmodified template YourName-thesis.tex won't compile using latex since the included graphics are in pdf, not eps.
