    Type of degree being awarded.  Default is "PhD".  If "EdD"
    is specified, a "\nodepartment" command is assumed (but
    can be overridden with a "\department{...}" command).

single, double
    Line spacing.  Default is "double".
    NOTE:  Single spacing is NON-CONFORMING to the RFTADP.

    is given, or unless the "EdD" argument is supplied in the
    "\documentstyle" command.

\thesis{X}
    Set the document type to "thesis", and the degree name to

    in all standard situations.

\dissertation{X}
    Set the document type to "dissertation", and the degree
    name to "X".  This command is normally not needed, since
    a "PhD" or "EdD" option to "\documentstyle" will do the
    same thing in all standard situations.

\nodepartment

    command should be used only in situations where the
    department name is officially unnecessary (such as when an
    "EdD" or customized degree title is specified).

    pages) in "X" size type.  Default is "Large" (17-point).

    is "LARGE" (20-point).
