Recent Dissertations

Dissertation titles appear in the convocation programs. Please note that some authors choose to delay access to their dissertations for a limited period of time.

Knowledge@UChicago provides open access to most University of Chicago dissertations completed after Summer 2015 and to all University of Chicago dissertations completed after Spring 2024.

Some of our 2015-2024 dissertations are not available in Knowledge@UChicago, and these will be available in ProQuest's dissertation databases, PQDT Global and the subset, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses @ University of Chicago.

Many academic institutions subscribe to ProQuest databases. Researchers who do not have access to ProQuest may place an interlibrary loan request for a dissertation through their library if they would like to view one of our dissertations that does not appear in Knowledge@UChicago.
