You can use ProQuest Dissertations and Theses to search for the full-text of dissertations published at universities and institutions across the globe, including those written by former students at IUP. If you wish to only search dissertations from IUP students, visit the ProQuest IUP Dissertation Collection.

Print Collection

In addition to the digital collections mentioned above, we also house a print collection of dissertations and theses written by IUP students. The dissertation collection is located on the ground floor of Stapleton Library.
