Core Title University of Southern California Dissertations and Theses

Collection description This collection contains all USC theses and dissertations since USC was founded in the 19th century. The vast majority were digitized from print copies. Since the Fall of 2006 they have been submitted electronically by the authors. A small number (probably less than 200) have not yet been added; but they will be added to this collection as they are located and digitized.

Project History

In the Fall of 2006 the USC Libraries began accepting electronic-only deposit of dissertations and theses. This on-line collection contains those electronic submissions. These have been deposited directly by the authors. Print copies have not been retained by the USC Libraries since the Fall of 2006. Note that some recent submissions may have restricted access for up to two years from the date of submission, after which, they will become available without restriction.

An early batch of 39 theses is also included in this collection. Dating between 1931 and 1966, this early batch contains theses on topics related to Los Angeles. These earlier documents were written by students in graduate programs in the Departments of Cinema, Finance, Geology, History, and Sociology, as well as the Graduate School, the School of Commerce, and the Graduate School of Social Work. Additionally, newly digitized older theses and dissertations continue to be added to this collection.

From Spring 2014 through early 2016, the USC Libraries retrospectively digitized every USC dissertation, thesis and graduate project in its print collection.
