This collection includes EWU master's theses. The bulk of the collection is from 2011 through the present. However, some theses for previous years are being digitized when the Library acquires a copy that can be disbound and scanned. If you are the author of a thesis identified as "EWU-only" and you would like your thesis to be available to the public, please contact the Library to request an access change.
To locate pre-2011 print theses in the Library's collection, search the Library's catalog.
