Theses and Dissertations
The University Archives maintains copies of senior honor theses, PhD dissertations and a small number of master's theses.
Senior Honors Theses
The University Archives has a fairly complete collection of senior honors theses. All theses can be found in the library catalog, OneSearch, through a title, author or subject search. To search for theses by department, enter "Brandeis University senior honors theses dept of [department name]" in an author or keyword search.
Electronic copies of many senior honors theses can be accessed directly from ScholarWorks by searching by title, author, or department. You can also browse all theses and dissertations.
Inter-Library Loan Policy
Senior honors theses collected in print are housed in the University Archives. Like all items in the Archives, these senior theses do not circulate and cannot be borrowed by other libraries.
Limited copying is available. Small portions of a senior thesis may be copied without the author's permission. Copies cost 20 cents per page for members of the Brandeis community and Boston Library Consortium institutions, and 25 cents per page for other patrons.
A senior honors thesis may be photocopied in full if the University Archives has the author's written permission to do so. Students who choose to submit a print copy of their thesis to the University Archives should include the Senior Honors Thesis Release Form with their submission.
