Thesis Formatting

A thesis is necessary a sizable document and in the case of a digital media thesis it may also include a considerable amount of illustrations, pictures, figures, and potentially other media. You can use any word processing application to produce your document. The end result has to conform to Drexel's Thesis Manual.

See also the Drexel Library's pages and FAQs on Thesis and Dissertation Binding.

For convenience, here is a zipped document skeleton that uses that latex class, ideally to be used with xelatex and/or on overlearf.com / sharelatex.com:
