Dissertations and Theses at UCSC

Finding Dissertations and Theses

At UC Santa Cruz

Dissertations and theses by UCSC authors are best viewed through UCSC’s eScholarship site by filtering items by type “theses” and sorting by any of the options – a useful sort for recent files is “Date Descending.” Department or subject are not currently available as filters or sorting options. This collection contains theses and dissertations from Winter quarter 2012 and onward, dependent on embargo status.

Across the University of California

Dissertation and theses from across the University of California are hosted in eScholarship and findable by going to all items, filtering to “Theses” as the “Type of Work,” and optionally sorting as described above for UC Santa Cruz files.

From Other Institutions

The ProQuest Dissertations & Theses database provides dissertations and theses from around the world from 1743 to present. Researchers searching for UCSC dissertations published before 2012 may search in ProQuest and UC Library Search.
