CSUDH Theses

Since Fall 2016, all CSUDH theses have been submitted digitally and the University Library is in the process of uploading all digital theses to ScholarWorks, the CSU-wide institutional repository. Prior to Fall 2016, a bound copy of each print thesis was acquired by the library and shelved in the library’s thesis collection. The library is currently in the process of digitizing all print theses and will make the resulting electronic files available to CSUDH students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

How do I search for print theses?

Search for a CSUDH thesis by title or author in OneSearch. Then, check the box for Material Type - Theses and Dissertations. If you don't see this option, click on Show More. For print theses, check the box for Available in the Library. All theses are in storage and can be requested to pick up at the Book Pick Up & Check Out Desk.
