How do I find theses and dissertations?
Answer
Find Iowa State Theses and Dissertations
The full-text of most Iowa State University dissertations (1910-present) are freely available online through Digital Repository @ ISU. Dissertations prior to 2006 may also be available in print and can be located in Quick Search with an author and/or title search. The full-text of Masters theses from 2006 to the present are available through Proquest’s Dissertations & Theses @ Iowa State University. Off-campus users will need to login to access this resource.
