TL;DR

The original MIT LaTeX Thesis Template can be found here, and was last updated in 2012

The template provided here is a consolidated and organized version of the MIT template which complies with MIT's style and thesis submission guidelines. In this template, parts of the thesis are segregated into folders:

  • appendix : subfiles for appendix A-Z
  • chapter 1 through 5: each chapter folder contains content specific to each chapter
  • main: the main folder contains the overall style of the thesis (mitthesis.cls), title page, abstract, acknowledgements, signatures, and document preamble. The final document will need to compile main.tex.

Within each chapter/appendix folder contains additional folders to segregate the bibliography, figures, and tables.

  • _bib: folder to manage bibliography entries (i.e. export from a reference manager such as Zotero).
  • _figures: figures, plots, and illustrations should go in here. Use the command \graphicspath{} in the preamble (in main.tex) to set paths to these figures to avoid writing long relative paths.
  • _tables: folder to add tables in .tex documents which can be \input'd into your chapters (or other files).
