In 2007 Middlebury began adding digital theses to a college-wide digital Institutional Repository. Departments determine which theses and senior work projects are eligible to be included.

(Note: to see theses by department, use the advanced search and search the department name in the publisher field. Ask a librarian if you need help).
Students interested in submitting their work should see the submission form (go/submit) - Faculty approval is required.
For many years, print copies of honors theses have been added to the College Archives in Special Collections. College Archive material cannot be taken outside of Special Collections, which has limited hours, so plan ahead.

NOTE: Breadloaf School of English does not require a thesis for their degrees.
Middlebury College subscribes to the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Full text database. It contains full text for most of PhD dissertations and select master's theses issued by U.S. universities since 1997. Please search this database before placing an ILL request for a Dissertation or Thesis.
To request the loan of a dissertation or a thesis (not available in ProQuest) from another Institution or Library, search WorldCat for the thesis title.
In the WorldCat record click on the following link:
If you are unable to find the thesis in WorldCat you can submit the request in ILLiad manually, but our chances of borrowing a thesis not cataloged in WorldCat are slim.
