Prior to 2014, CSUSB Master's Theses, Master's Projects, and Doctoral Dissertations were available only in hard copy. Starting in 2014, all theses, projects, and dissertations were produced in digital versions only. View recent theses here.
A project to digitize the library’s older, hard-copy theses and projects started with a grant from the Vital and Expanded Technologies Initiative, which allocates designated funds from the Student Success Initiative fee. The library thanks the VETI committee for supporting this project to showcase the intellectual endeavors of CSUSB graduates.
The first digitized copies were uploaded in January 2017, and the project wrapped up in December 2024. During that time, we uploaded a total of 4,526 digitized theses, which have created millions of downloads.
Most theses produced at CSUSB were digitized, but a few were not. In some cases, the library never received copies of a thesis. Other reasons a thesis might not be digitized:
- Because post-2014 theses/projects in Creative Writing were not posted in ScholarWorks, the digitization project did not post older Creative Writing theses. Metadata-only records are provided for these items.
- The document contained personally identifiable information on research subjects, substantial amounts of copyrighted material, or other sensitive data
- The library had only one physical copy. Because our digitization process destroyed the bound volume, we digitized only when we owned two copies of a thesis.
- The authors requested that their thesis not be digitized.
Opting Out
If you are the author of a CSUSB thesis and do not want the full text of your work posted in ScholarWorks, please notify us via the Digitization Project Request Form. All such requests will be honored, but must come from the author of the work.
