Finding Theses and Dissertations
Tufts A&S and Engineering graduate student theses and dissertations
Tufts A&S and engineering masters theses and Ph.D. dissertations are in the catalog. They can be searched by author or title. If you would like to browse by department, do a keyword search for tufts dept [name of the department], for example: tufts dept child development. The catalog will tell you where to find a copy of the paper. Note that most Ph.D. dissertations issued after 1996 (2005 for master’s theses) are available fulltext from the Tufts Dissertations and Theses database.
Tufts Fletcher, Medical, Dental, Sackler and Vet schools theses and dissertations
Graduate students at other Tufts schools write theses and dissertations as well. To find them, search by author for:
- Fletcher School Of Law And Diplomacy
- Tufts University. Sackler School
- Tufts University. School Of Dental Medicine
- Tufts University. School Of Nutrition
The exception to this rule is that to find theses done at the School of Veterinary Medicine, search by title for TUSVM theses.
