Electronic Theses & Dissertations

An Electronic Thesis or Dissertation (ETD) is a document that reports the research of a graduate student. The Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida catalog, preserve, and provide access to the dissertations and theses produced in support of graduate degree programs at UF. 

UF’s electronic theses and dissertations reside in the Institutional Repository at the University of Florida (the IR@UF). For more information on ETDs at UF, please visit the UF Graduate School Editorial Office or Thesis and Dissertation Support at the UF Computing Help Desk
