Electronic Theses, Dissertations, and Records of Study (2002– )
Description
This collection contains Texas A&M University theses and dissertations written after 2002.
History
In 2002, the Texas A&M University’s Office of Graduate and Professional Studies (OGAPS) began accepting electronic submission of theses and dissertations. In 2004, electronic submission became a requirement, and OGAPS now also accepts electronically submitted records of study.Access
Most theses and dissertations in this collection are open access. However, Texas A&M University students have a right to place their work under embargo in certain circumstances. The full-text of theses and dissertations under embargo is restricted until the embargo period has expired.
