Prepositions / Capitalization in Titles

I have two titles that I am wondering about. I need to put them in a specifc format in which the prepositions are lowercased, essentially title case). A co-worker told me that they should be in the format below, but I disagree.


  • Not whether, but How to Civilize

  • No College Student Left behind


    • Could you please tell me which words in these titles are prepositions (and should be lowercased)?

    Thank you in advance for your time.

There are no prepositions in those titles. However, the conjunction but and the infinitival marker to should be written in lower case, giving these: Not Whether, but How to Civilize No College Student Left Behind CJ
