Hi and welcome.

You didn't specify which thesis template. There are thousands out there. Please direct us to a place where we can find it, because minrowclearance is not defined.

Most convenient way would be to prepare a minimal working example. So we all have the same knowledge base.

EDIT: Package colortbl provides a command minrowclearance. Seeing the output, i think you will acceppt sooner or later, that this table is just to big.

Please have a look at the documentation of package booktabs. It includes some useful tips on how to typeset readable tables.
