Student Theses

Welcome to the E-Theses Project of The Rockefeller University

The Rita and Frits Markus Library is proud to present The Rockefeller University E-Thesis Project. An increasing number of universities worldwide are making theses and dissertations available in electronic format to preserve and publicize scholarly works and improve communication among researchers. The Rockefeller University E-theses project was designed to create a digital collection of full text theses and dissertations authored by Rockefeller University students.

The university has awarded nearly 1,000 Doctor of Philosophy degrees since 1959. This collection contains only selected theses and dissertations authored by Rockefeller graduates and is not a complete collection of all Rockefeller theses. The pilot project began with the addition of selected theses from the most recent graduating classes. We continue to archive earlier works for the collection. Beginning in 2009, all new graduates can expect to see their dissertations appear in the collection once the library receives them.

The theses available in this collection have either been scanned or have been submitted in electronic format by authors. Nearly all theses written before 2006 are in print format and need to be digitized before inclusion. All thesis authors before 2004 need to grant the library permission before we are able to add them to the collection. If you are a graduate of The Rockefeller University and would like to include your thesis in the E-Theses project, or if have any questions or comments, please send us an email.
