Subject Guide

The Purdue University Libraries collects, preserves, and provides access to dissertations as original works of scholarship in conjunction with doctorates awarded by the University. Other pertinent student works such as master's and honors theses may also be collected.

What is the difference between a thesis and a dissertation?

At Purdue, “thesis” typically refers to a Master’s program and “dissertation” refers to the Ph.D program. In the early years a thesis was written in many undergraduate programs (i.e B.S. in Engineering).

How can I find dissertations that were written at Purdue?

The Purdue Libraries holds one copy of each title from 1882 to present. In some cases these have been marked confidential or have restrictions in place for a limited period of time. The original paper copies do not circulate and must be viewed in Archives and Special Collections. These can be requested through the Libraries catalog . Please log in to request your item. When the request is received, it is pulled from the storage Repository and delivered to be viewed in the Archives and Special Collections Research Center on the 4 th floor of the Humanities and Social Sciences Library (HSSE). This is located in Stewart Center, 504 W. State Street, West Lafayette, IN 47907. You will receive a confirmation email when the item is ready along with directions to the Archives.

More information:

The first Thesis is available to be viewed in Archives and Special Collections . Early Purdue University Theses and Dissertations (starting in 1882 and scanned up to 1906 so far) have been scanned and are available online. Open access copies are available online through the Theses and Dissertations, Purdue e-Puds (including some copies from ProQuest). Copies available for loan: Some of the theses and dissertations have been microfilmed and can be requested for off campus use through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) . Also, some paper duplicates will show up in the catalog, please request the copy that does not say “Only viewable in the Archives.” Alumni can request an electronic copy of their theses or dissertation from the past by contacting [email protected].  If you have questions about depositing your thesis or dissertation, please contact the graduate school Thesis and Dissertation Office . 

How can I find theses or dissertations from U.S. institutions?

Go to Dissertations and Theses (PQDT) . It offers a comprehensive listing of bibliographic entries for theses and dissertations in the Dissertation Abstracts database. Theses and dissertations listed since 1997 are available in PDF digital format for users affiliated with Purdue University with access to theses and dissertations from CIC institutions. For those entries not full-text, 24-page previews are available. For non full-text entries and possible borrowing of non-Purdue titles, consult Interlibrary Loan .

How can I find dissertations that are free?

• From Center for Research Libraries (CRL) search for available paper-bound titles. CRL has more than 750,000 uncataloged foreign [non-U.S. or Canadian] doctoral dissertations, of which approximately 20,000 are presently in this database. Please consult with CRL if you are unable to find a dissertation that you may require.
• Cybertheses permits access to selected French dissertations from 1972 to the present. This database can provide access to another index where full-text provision for selected dissertations [theses in French] may be provided.
• NDLTD - Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations . NDLTD provides access to thousands of digitally available dissertations and theses. Both U.S. and foreign dissertations and theses can be accessed through this site for those institutions participating within this association.

How do I find dissertations in:

Graduate School Web Database

The Graduate School Web Database is a web interface to the Graduate School's Oracle database. Any faculty or staff at any Purdue University campus with an academic interest in graduate applications or graduate students.

Information Available in the Database

• Graduate applications and application status information is availabe for all W. L. applicants. For regional campuses, we have all graduate applications for those who applied via the web, and the admitted applications for those who applied via paper.
• Official ETS GRE and Toefl scores for those testers who asked that the scores be sent to Purdue West Lafayette.
• Various reports that may be useful to departmental faculty and staff.
• Registration and funding information for W.L. graduate students.
• Faculty certification information and the electronic   Request for Faculty Certification   form.
• Convert plan of study to an electronic process that includes the student completing the form via the web, electronic routing and electronic signatures. The electronic plan of study should be availble to all students on the West Lafayette campus by spring 2003.

You will receive an email when your access has been granted. You may begin accessing the database once you have obtained permission from the Graduate School. 

The URL for the login page to the database is not published on our home pages for security reasons. The URL is given to individuals once they have obtained access to the database. If you lose your bookmark email  [email protected]  and the URL will be emailed to you.

Questions/Help

For questions, please email  [email protected] .

Suggestions

We are constantly looking at new ways to use the database to increase the productivity of Graduate School staff and the departmental staff at Purdue. We are currently looking at ways to use the database to:

• Decrease the time it takes to get the proper paper work to/from international students
• Allow departments to admit people electronically
• Increase the amount of information an applicant gets from the "Check Status" web page

If you have ideas for the web database, please share them with us. Email your suggestions to  [email protected] .

Ph.D. in Technology

• Graduate Faculty
• Dissertation

The culminating demonstration of successful performance in the student’s Ph.D. program is the design, execution, and documentation of the dissertation, and its defense. Any form of research deemed acceptable and appropriate to the Ph.D. committee may be used to satisfy this requirement.

Quality research cannot be rushed. Given this, it is encouraged that students and Ph.D. advisors begin work on the research project as early as possible. Often, for students employing a typical four year timeline, the third year is appropriately used to define the research topic and generate the proposal (or fifth year for a six year timeline). The earlier this occurs during this time the better. The gradual use of TECH 699 credits is one way to encourage such progress, although the bulk of them should be taken only after the student has completed the preliminary examination and has an approved dissertation proposal.

Procedurally a student must:

• Enroll in TECH 699 (typically one (1) credit hour) to generate and successfully defend the dissertation research proposal
• Defend the proposal in front of final examination committee (comprised of at least four members)
• Obtain appropriate approvals (if applicable) to conduct research (CITI, IRB, HIPAA, FERPA, etc)
• If approved, execute the dissertation research (during this time students enroll in subsequent hours of TECH 699)
• Thesis students must meet with the college Thesis Advisor for approval of their format
• Defend project in front of final examination graduate committee

Upon successful defense of the project, students deposit the dissertation with the university, college, and with their committee.
