The Penn State University thesis class file and template for use with LaTeX.
This package was uploaded (in November 2019) from https://sites.esm.psu.edu/~gray/psu-latex-thesis-class.html to replace a much earlier version of this template originally published on ShareLaTeX.

%
% This is a template file to help get you started using the
% psuthesis.cls for theses and dissertations at Penn State
% University. You will, of course, need to put the
% psuthesis.cls file someplace that LaTeX will find it.
%
% I have set up a directory structure that I find to be clean
% and convenient. You can readjust it to suit your tastes. In
% fact, the structure used by our students is even a little
% more involved and commands are defined to point to the
% various directories.
%
% This document has been set up to be typeset using pdflatex.
% About the only thing you will need to change if typesetting
% using latex is the \DeclareGraphicsExtensions command.
%
% The psuthesis document class uses the same options as the
% book class. In addition, it requires that you have the
% ifthen, calc, setspace, and tocloft packages.
%
% The first additional option specifies the degree type. You
% can choose from:
% Ph.D. using class option <phd>
% M.S. using class option <ms>
% M.Eng. using class option <meng>
% M.A. using class option <ma>
% B.S. using class option <bs>
% B.A. using class option <ba>
% Honors from the Schreyer Honors College <schreyer>
%
% The second additional option inlinechaptertoc determines
% the formatting of the Chapter entries in the Table of
% Contents. The default sets them as two-line entries (try it).
% If you want them as one-line entries, issue the
% inlinechaptertoc option.
%
% The class option schreyer should be used for theses
% submitted to the Schreyer Honors College.
%
% The class option esc should be used by all Engineering Science
% students.
%
% The option option twoha should be used if you are earning
% interdisciplanary honors and thus have two honors advisors.
%
% The class option ``secondthesissupervisor'' should be used
% for baccalaureate honors degrees if you have a second
% Thesis Supervisor.
%
% The vita is only included with the phd option and it is
% placed at the end of the thesis. The permissions page is only
% included with the ms, meng, and ma options.

% To the hyperref package, uncomment the following line:

%
% Note that you should also uncomment the following line:

%
% to work around some a problem hyperref has with the fact
% the psuthesis class has unnumbered pages after which page
% counters are reset.
% Set the baselinestretch using the setspace package.
% The LaTeX Companion claims that a \baselinestretch of
% 1.24 gives one-and-a-half line spacing, which is allowed
% by the PSU thesis office. As of October 18, 2013, the Graduate
% School states ``The text of an eTD may be single-, double- or
% one- and-a-half-spaced.'' Go nuts!
