Through the Graduate School, the University of Oregon offers studies leading to advanced degrees in the liberal arts and sciences and in the professional fields of architecture and allied arts, business, education, journalism and communication, and music. Specific program requirements for the majority of these degrees appear in the departmental web sites. The general requirements of the Graduate School are stated on the Graduate School web page http://gradschool.uoregon.edu/

There are two collections of dissertations listed below:

• Theses and Dissertations (Official) represent items that have been digitized from official paper manuscripts approved by the Graduate School.
• Theses and Dissertations (Self-Submitted) represent items for which authors have submitted their own electronic files of their dissertations. The electronic files have not been reviewed by the Graduate School and the content may differ from the official, authorized paper manuscripts.
