*Education: Dissertations

There are three databases or search engines you can use to find USC Rossier dissertations. The USC Libraries Digital Library is a repository for dissertations written since 2006. Students may elect to submit their dissertation to Proquest Dissertations and Theses Global, but the USC Graduate School requires students to submit all dissertations to the USC Digital Library. See the USC Graduate School Thesis/Dissertation Submission guidelines for more information.
