Theses and Dissertation Guide 

The accepted thesis or dissertation is considered one's scholarly contribution to City College and CUNY.  Students self-submit their work to CUNY Academic Works digital repository and, in the case of Ph.D students, the ProQuest Thesis and Dissertations A&I database to make it available to the scholarly community. Submitting your work makes it available to others engaged research in the same area of study to find, use, and cite your scholarly work. This guide is your access point for submitting and finding City College theses and dissertations.
