Finding Dissertations

There is no official digital or physical repository for UC dissertations. Your professor or chair should provide at least one sample of a quantitative and qualitative dissertation by a UC student.

We recommend using the Proquest Dissertations and Theses database to search for dissertations and theses from around the globe. Filter by institution to locate UC dissertations (please note this is not a complete collection).
