Jürgen's solution is going to work fine, but I think you should ask
yourself if this is the last formatting modification your professor is
going to request or (as it sometimes happens), the first of many. In the
latter case, you may consider switching from your current LaTeX class
(whichever it is) to a class that can be easily and heavily customized to
your (professor's) needs, such as KomaScript or memoir.
It will take some time to learn how to do so, but it will pay off in the
end. Unless you are already at the end...in which case: congrats!
Cheers,
Stefano
