Question: How do I find theses and dissertations?

To find electronic versions of dissertations and theses, search in the  Dissertations & Theses Global  database (also know as Dissertation Abstracts). Please note that not all dissertations or theses will be available in full text. Some older works may not have been digitized yet. Also, some authors choose to restrict access to their work for a set number of years after completion.

Some NYU dissertations may also be available in print or on microform in our collection.  For more information about dissertations and theses, see our guide .

Finding Dissertations

Finding Dissertations from Other Institutions

  • International Resources

There are three methods for acquiring or borrowing a dissertation completed at an institution other than New York University.

Dissertations and Theses Global  (ProQuest Digital Dissertations) This database indexes doctoral dissertations in all disciplines which were completed at participating, accredited North American colleges and universities. Some institutions outside of North America, mostly in Great Britain, are included but coverage is not exhaustive. Dissertations added to the database after 1980 contain abstracts. Most dissertations included since 1997 are available in full-text. 

Interlibrary Loan If you are an NYU student, staff or faculty member, you can place a request for a dissertation through our interlibrary loan service and we'll  try to borrow a copy from another institution on your behalf.

Proquest Dissertation Express You may purchase copies of many North American dissertations (including NYU dissertations) directly from Proquest/UMI. Dissertation authors can order a copy of of their dissertations through this service at a discounted price.
