4 User commands

\maketitlepage

Makes the main title page for the thesis.

\fieldofstudy{}

Takes one argument corresponding to your field of study. For a dual major use the \dualmajor command instead.

\dualmajor{}{}

Takes two arguments, one for each of the two majors.

\dedication{}

Takes one argument (should be short), your dedication.

\makecopyrightpage

Creates the copyright page.

\makededicationpage

Creates the dedication page.

{abbreviations}

Environment for the List of Abbreviations

\abbrev{}{}

msutocdepth

Counter for setting the TOC depth. Default is 1 (sections+chapters). Set this to 0 to use the simplified (chapters only) format that the thesis office suggests but doesn’t require.
