Nice work! I found out that using tabular indents your title pages, though, and using the l specifier you get an overfull hbox with a long statement like for your graduate school. Instead of splitting it manually, use the p{tablewidth} specifier in order to format text as a paragraph.

Also, in \flushleft, tabular indentation is minimal but can be further reduced by using an @{} in front of the column specifier.

So you can change both of the tabular environments to this:

%%
\newpage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\vspace*{\fill}
\begin{flushleft}
\begin{tabular}{@{}p{\textwidth}}
    \textbf{Thesis committee}                                      

and

%%
\newpage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\vspace*{\fill}
\begin{flushleft}
\begin{tabular}{@{}p{\textwidth}}
    Your Name \\  

As a last (minor) comment, I just defined a command \thesistitle and \thesissubtitle to prevent writing them 3-4 times in a row.

Screenshots:
flushleft, with only p{\textwidth} column causes indentation and overflow on the right:
fl_noat_textwidth

flushleft, with @p{\textwidth} column:
fl_at_textwidth

See pull request. I thought you don't need flushleft with @{} but you do, therefore 2 commits.
