How to Find Theses in Flaxman Library

Browse or Search Based on Dates

Prior to 2013, SAIC published books to highlight the theses of graduate students who were enrolled in programs that required a written thesis (so all of these are in physical formats only). After that, most theses are represented by a digital copy. Use the links below to browse the catalog or repository based on dates published.


Digital SAIC Theses

Created After November 2013; digital items in SAIC Digital Collections' Thesis Repository
You can find these theses by using the link below. Once there, you can filter by Thesis Degree or Department/Program using the left-most column.
