ProQuest Dissertation Express : find citations here, then request it from OSU Libraries' Interlibrary Loan .

  • PQDT Open Searches open access theses and dissertations from the ProQuest database. It is a subset of Dissertation Abstracts.
  • Google Scholar  indexes many open access theses and dissertations from institutions and authors that have published them as open access. However, filtering to just dissertations and theses is not an option at this time.
  • Check the OSU Libraries  database list to see if a database in your discipline indexes dissertations (many do) or ask your subject librarian for help selecting the best option.
  • Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD) Recommends several search engines for access to dissertations and theses.
  • Search The Center for Research Libraries (CRL) catalog to view citations of over 800,000 dissertations from countries outside the US and Canada. Where available, request full-text from the CRL through Interlibrary Loan .

Subscribing to Dissertation Abstracts through ProQuest is not possible due to subscription cost. However, we have developed this guide in order to direct the OSU community to other useful resources for finding theses and dissertations. Please contact your subject librarian if you have questions about finding dissertations and theses in your field.

Research Thesis and Research Distinction

An undergraduate thesis is an official, academically-integrated undergraduate research project with a formal written outcome. Completing a thesis is permanently recognized on a student's diploma as graduation with "Research Distinction" or with "Honors Research Distinction".

The requirements for graduating with research distinction vary by college, but generally include submitting an application to complete a thesis at least a semester prior to graduation, enrolling in thesis course credit hours, submitting a written thesis manuscript and completing an oral examination or defense to a faculty panel. Students should discuss their interest in completing a research distinction project with their research advisor and academic advisor as early as possible.

Theses are permanently stored in the University Library's Knowledge Bank so they are also considered to be a published material.

Research Thesis and Distinction by College/Program

Please contact your academic advisor if you are interested in completing a research thesis or distinction program.

  • Research Distinction (Honors and Non-Honors)

Students should contact their academic advisor for information on graduating with Research Distinction or Honors Research Distinction.
