Baylor

Dissertation/Thesis class: BaylorThesis.cls and documents to compile an example dissertation (zip). The class defines the spacing, margins, and general formatting according to the Graduate School’s 2017 guidelines and model dissertation/thesis. Here is an example (.pdf)
- Updated October 2014. This update of the cls file allows for a List of Abbreviations and a Preface, as well as changes to format to better comply with the Graduate School’s Guidelines
- Updated June 2017. This update of the cls file removed the amsthm style definition, since it can be loaded directly in the .tex file, as well as changes to format to better comply with the Graduate School’s Guidelines

Baylor Beamer theme. I have been working on a Baylor theme for Beamer. It consists of two parts: (a) a color theme (bears) and (b) the template theme (BaylorTheme). If you want the Logo on the title page, you need the BaylorLogoH.jpg file. Here is an example (pdf, tex)
