Did you know that you can find dissertations and theses created here at the U of I by using IDEALS? Students can now deposit electronic copies of their dissertations and theses, which means you can find full-text versions here.

You can search or browse for publications. If you know you want a dissertation from the School of Music, for example, click on “Communities” on the left, select “College of Fine and Applied Arts”, then “School of Music,” and then “Dissertations and Theses-Music”.

You can also enter the Dissertation and Theses community and then search or browse.

If you are a graduate student depositing your thesis or dissertation, please do this through the Graduate College at http://www.grad.uiuc.edu/submit-etd. If you deposit electronically, once your degree is conferred, your dissertation or thesis will appear in this collection.

If you have authored a dissertation or thesis in the past at the University of Illinois and would like to see it appear here, please contact ideals-gen@illinois.edu for more information.
