One way to get a better understanding of WAC-related issues is to see how they have been addressed in local contexts. While many books and articles have been published from various campuses' local projects, graduate students' theses and dissertations also offer a wealth of information that, sometimes, becomes forgotten after the degree is completed. The Theses and Dissertations page provides you with access to these projects-in abstract and/or fulltext. We encourage you to browse through the thesis and dissertation titles to develop a clear sense of WAC's depth and breadth. This page is meant to be a valuable resource for the development of your next WAC project, whether it is designing a campus program, researching for an article, or writing your own thesis or dissertation.

We currently have abstracts available courtesy of UMI's Online Dissertation Services that are displayed with permission. Theses and dissertations available in fulltext are presented courtesy of their authors and are displayed with their permission. We want to make more of these texts available to a larger audience. If you did a WAC-related project to fulfill the requirements for a graduate degree and you have chosen not to publish the manuscript, we encourage you to make the fulltext of your thesis or dissertation available to others. To add a thesis or dissertation description to this page, to discuss adding fulltext manuscripts to this page or to provide suggestions about how to make this page more user-friendly, please contact me.
