A thesis is required for certain programs at the University of San Diego.  Please consult the Graduate Bulletin to check if your program requires a thesis.

When the final draft of your thesis has been approved, you need to submit your thesis to the Graduate Records office to fulfill the final requirement for your degree.

We need one bound original and one bound copy of your dissertation for the University Library circulation and archives.  Your department and thesis chair need a certain number of copies of your thesis as well, so please consult your advisor about the additional number of copies which you will need.
