Editorial Services for Dissertations and Theses

The Graduate School requires that all dissertations and theses be submitted in final formats, ready for library submission and publication.  In addition, they must be prepared according to the formatting requirements of the department and college from which they originate.  A list of the requirements, by college and department, is below.

Part of what is required for final submission of dissertations and theses is that such documents be free from any errors related to language use:  grammar, spelling, and usage errors must be absent, and clarity must be uniform throughout the document. 

To aid in meeting this requirement, the Graduate School recommends that a student employ an editor.  The Graduate School does not require employing an editor, nor do we require hiring a particular editor.  However, if a student is looking for a recommendation, we recommend the following:
