Index to doctoral dissertations from 1637 to the present, with abstracts since 1980. A number of master's theses are also indexed, with abstracts since 1988. Many are available for download in pdf format. UCLA has access to all full text dissertations in the database. Non-UCLA users may use Dissertations Express to purchase digital or print copies of individual dissertations.
These are selected theses and dissertations submitted by UCLA students for which the UCLA Library has full-text electronic access through ProQuest Digital Dissertations. The UCLA Library also has full-text access to dissertations (since 1997) from other UC campuses, so you can search for these works as well.
