Dissertations & Theses at Carnegie Mellon University

Carnegie Mellon theses are now ONLINE and can be searched through the ProQuest database Dissertations & Theses @ Carnegie Mellon University that enables access to citations and abstracts of all dissertations and theses, as well as the full text in PDF format. 

In the Carnegie Mellon Library catalog, uses the term THESIS to denote both masters' theses and dissertations.  However, the number of master's theses is limited. The catalog treats theses and dissertations like books, and they can be borrowed as such. Theses may be in print, microfiche, or microform.

• In catalog use the Advanced Search:  search by author, title, or keyword limiting to type THESIS.

• For a list of theses from a specific department, use Advanced Search to combine a keyword search for the name of the department with location THESES.  E.g., search for "Dept. of Computer Science" with THESES as the location.

• For a complete list of theses at Carnegie Mellon, use Advanced Search to search Carnegie Mellon University Dissertations in the Subject line. 

Dissertations & Theses at Other Universities

The best source to find theses is ProQuest Dissertations & Thesis Global.  Policies regarding theses and dissertation collections largely vary between universities.  So check the library website of the university of interest.

Above is a LaTeX template for PhD dissertations that conforms to the MSE (Materials Science & Engineering) department's requirements. 

This is a template for a CMU MSE dissertation/thesis overview. This template was modified from cmuthesis.cls, published by David Koes (www.cs.cmu.edu/~dkoes), and subsequently modified by Raja Sambasivan to conform to ECE standards. This version is forked from an updated version by Ryan Cohn (https://github.com/rccohn), which was changed to conform to MSE standards. See that version for more document history.
