Where can I find dissertations and theses?
Answer
Electronic dissertations and theses
UT Dallas students, faculty and staff have online access to three dissertation and thesis databases:

Dissertation access for our community visitors
Dissertations in print
McDermott Library no longer has a selection of dissertations in print.
Publishing timeframe
It can take about 6 months after The Office of Graduate Studies releases a dissertation before it is published in the ProQuest database. These documents are sometimes available sooner at Treasures @ UT Dallas. You can search there or go to our homepage to search by title or author in our familiar catalog view.
