The Sacred Heart style manual is based on the latest edition of Kate Turabian's A Manual of Style for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, commonly called simply Turabian.  This is itself a shorter version of the Chicago Manual of Style. This version was approved in 2010 by the AAB and the Faculty Council.

MA students writing a thesis may look through this format manual to ensure that your thesis complies with Sacred Heart's requirements.
