Remember that the commands in LaTeX are just macros, they collect any text and expand it where needed. What you need is a command in the preamble of your LyX document of this kind: \degree{Master of Science\\ \vspace{\baselineskip} in\\ \vspace{\baselineskip} Nuclear Engineering} As I

Would you be willing to do this in ERT? I find that the first page, cover page, etc. are notoriously difficult to get correctly specified in Lyx. The ERT would be someting like http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/819/double-line-spacing Also, it might be linebreak but I think it should be
