CTAN update: mitthesis
The mitthesis class formats an MIT thesis or dissertation according to the current requirements of the MIT Libraries. This template is appropriate for MIT theses of all types. This class was new in 2023, and it is a complete replacement for the original mitthesis.cls written in the 1980s. This update includes several revisions of the fontset files, definitions of math operators for erf and erfc, and code updates for future tagged pdf, metadata, and backward compatibility.

mitthesis – A LaTeX template for an MIT thesis
This class provides a LaTeX template for an MIT thesis or dissertation formatted according to the requirements of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries (as posted in 2023): https://libraries.mit.edu/distinctive-collections/thesis-specs/
This template is appropriate for an MIT thesis or MIT dissertation of any type.
This template works with either pdfLaTeX or unicode engines such as LuaLaTeX.
The bibliography can be prepared with either biblatex (default) or natbib/bibtex.
The class is based on current LaTeX distributions, ideally 11/2022 or later, but compatible with distributions back to 2020.
This template replaces the older version of mitthesis.cls, which was first composed in the 1980s.
