Title Casing Across Major Style Guides

Understanding standard title capitalization guidelines for academic, journalistic, and web publications.

1. Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS)

Capitalize the first and last words, all major words (nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs), and all prepositions regardless of length (except when CMOS lowercases prepositions under 5 letters). Lowercase "to" as part of an infinitive.

2. APA Style Guide (7th Edition)

Capitalize the first word of a title or subtitle, words with 4 or more letters, and all major words. Lowercase minor conjunctions and short prepositions of 3 letters or fewer (such as "and", "as", "by", "for", "in", "of", "on").

3. Associated Press (AP Style)

Capitalize the principal words, including prepositions and conjunctions of 4 or more letters. Capitalize an article ("the", "a", "an") or words of 3 or fewer letters if they are the first or last word in a title.

4. Modern Language Association (MLA)

Capitalize the first word, last word, and all principal words. Lowercase articles, prepositions, and coordinating conjunctions, no matter where they fall inside the body of the title.

FAQ

Title Case Questions & Answers

What is Title Case?

Title Case is a capitalization standard where major words (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns) start with a capital letter, while minor grammatical words (short prepositions, articles, and coordinating conjunctions like 'a', 'an', 'the', 'in', 'of') remain lowercase unless they begin the title or subtitle.

What words should not be capitalized in title case?

Articles (a, an, the), coordinating conjunctions (and, but, for, nor, or, so, yet), and short prepositions (at, by, for, in, of, on, to, up) are generally kept in lowercase according to most style guides, unless they are the first or last word of the title.

How does Title Case differ from Capitalized Case?

Capitalized Case blindly capitalizes the first letter of every single word without exception. Title Case intelligently identifies minor grammatical words and keeps them lowercase, producing grammatically accurate titles for publications.
