Q. Where can I find a thesis or dissertation?

If you are looking for an FHSU thesis and know the title, search for it in quotes in the search box on the library's home page or search the FHSU Master's Theses Collection directly. The FHSU Master's Theses Collection contains manuscripts written by Fort Hays graduate students dating from 1930 through the present. Theses submitted after 2009 are Open Access. Works prior to 2010 may be limited to on-campus access due to copyright restrictions. Please contact ScholarsRepository@fhsu.edu for questions regarding access to individual works from that time period.
