Electronic Theses and Dissertations @GW
GW's Electronic Theses and Dissertation (EDT) Submission Website Students can now publish their theses/dissertations in electronic format. Electronic theses/dissertations can include content that was not easily integrated into paper-based documents, such as high-resolution graphics, charts, pictures, and photographs. Also, theses/dissertations can be made available to faculty, potential employers, and interested readers worldwide instantaneously through the Internet. After accepting electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) on a voluntary basis for a some years and introducing the GW Proquest ETD website on a voluntary basis in Fall 2007, GW is requiring that ALL doctoral dissertations starting in Spring 2008 be submitted electronically to Proquest/UMI, the nation’s archiver and distributor of doctoral dissertations. In the near future, we will also be accepting master’s theses through this electronic process. For more details, click on the links above or go to http://www.gwu.edu/~etds/ Back to Top.
