Commonwealth Honors College: Getting Started With Library Research

Commonwealth Honors College Theses

Commonwealth Honors College theses are located in Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA).

If you are a member of the UMass community, you can make an appointment to view theses.

Honors theses can be viewed on site in the Special Collections and University Archives reading room. Starting in 2019, all undergraduate honors theses are submitted electronically.

  • Paper honors theses (pre-2019) may take up to one to two business days to retrieve.
  • Digital honors theses (2019 forward) must also be viewed on site in SCUA’s reading room, but they do not have a delay period from request to retrieval and access.

Please click on the link to the SCUA page below for instructions on accessing theses. 


There are a few exemplary theses that are available digitally in our ScholarWorks repository from a pilot project done in 2011. Please use the link below to access these theses.
