mitthesis – A LaTeX template for an MIT thesis

This class provides a LaTeX template for an MIT thesis or dissertation formatted according to the requirements of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries (as posted in 2025): https://libraries.mit.edu/distinctive-collections/thesis-specs/

This template is appropriate for an MIT thesis or MIT dissertation of any type.

This template works with either pdfLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.

The bibliography may be prepared with biblatex/biber.

The class requires a current LaTeX distribution, ideally 11/2022 or later, but compatible with distributions back to mid-2021.

This template replaces the older version of mitthesis.cls, which was first composed in the 1980s.
