Dissertations & Theses @ GW

You may be aware of the ProQuest database, Dissertations & Theses (formerly Dissertation Abstracts from UMI). But did you know that you can now search a subset of this database that’s just GW dissertations and theses? Well, you can!

Once you click into the ProQuest dissertation database from ALADIN, you can then choose to just search GW dissertations. Just click on “Databases selected” at the top of the ProQuest search screen, and scroll down to Dissertations & Theses. You can then select Dissertations & Theses @ George Washington University (deselect the main dissertations database first). Once you’ve switched to that database, your search results will only include dissertations completed by GW students. (For example, you may want to view other dissertations chaired by your advisor at GW. You could also do a search on a general topic to see if other GW students completed doctoral-level research in your area.)
