Always capitalize the first and last word in a title.
Capitalize all the other words except for articles (a, an, the), conjunctions,
(and, but, or, ...) and prepositions of four letters or fewer.  (as, for, from, on, of, etc..)

This applies to titles of books, chapters, periodicals, poems, stories, plays, paintings, musical compositions, and subtitles.

Examples: The Chronicles of Narnia
(The is the first word, so it is capitalized; of is not.)

Six Characters in Search of a Plot
(In and of are prepositions, and a is an article)

Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ
(Capitalize A because it is first word in subtitle.)

Capitalize the titles of courses when the course is a language course or when the title refers to a specific class. (In most schools the course would be followed by a number.)

Language courses: Latin English Ancient Uighur

Incorrect: Math Economics Physical Education
(Not language, not specific classes)

Correct: math economics physical education

Specific classes: Physical Education 215
Introduction to Applied Mathematics Economics 101
