Theses and Dissertations at UCLA and Beyond
As part of their master's or doctoral degree requirements, many students have to write theses or dissertations. Not all of these result in journal or book publications. If you are having a hard time finding something on your topic or if your topic is relatively new, theses and dissertations can be great resources.
