How to Use Theses & Dissertations

Previous theses and dissertations can help you understand how research is designed and presented. Use them as research literature and examples, rather than as material to copy.

Explore Methodologies

Examine how previous researchers designed their studies, collected data, selected participants, and analyzed results.

Follow the References

Use the reference lists of relevant theses to discover additional journal articles, books, reports, and other scholarly sources.
