Theses & Dissertations from Other Institutions
Theses and dissertations from other institutions can be found in a variety of ways.
One option is to follow the Basic Theses & Dissertations Search instructions below. Alternatively, theses and dissertations can be found by selecting a relevant database from our Database List and using the "Publication Type" search limit. Other searching options include open access databases such as EBSCO Open Dissertations and OATD.
Many institutions have digitized their theses and dissertations. If you need to consult a thesis or dissertation that Library Services does not own or have access to, we can try to get a copy from another library via interlibrary loan. However, because a minimal number of physical copies of theses and dissertations exist, we cannot always find a copy to borrow.
Please Ask the Library if you have questions about locating a specific thesis or dissertation.
