MASTERS THESES
Standards for graduate study toward the degree of Master of
Arts at Connecticut College are set by the college and the academic
departments. M.A. degree candidates who are writing theses should
confer with their advisers about manuscript preparation and
matters of style.
Guidelines for submitting an M.A. thesis to the library
One copy of each M.A. thesis written at Connecticut College
should be deposited in the library by the department for which
it was written. The Library has established requirements for
the submission and the physical format of the M.A. theses in
the Archives:
- Each M.A. thesis given to the library will be in a standard
black thesis binder provided by the student or the department.
Binders are available in the College Book Shop. The ring-binder
is not an acceptable format.
- A high-quality paper will be used in the manuscript. Recycled
paper is not suitable for the preservation of manuscripts.
- M.A. theses submitted to the library should be brought
directly to the Catalog department or, if left at the Circulation
or Reference desks, should be clearly labeled for the Catalog
department.
Finding an M.A. thesis in the online catalog
M.A. theses submitted to the library since 1990 have been cataloged
in the CTW online catalog, and may be found by using the standard
search strategies: name of author, title of work, subject heading
or keyword. In addition, a listing by department is retrievable
by typing the following "keyword" search in the online catalog:
- Connecticut and College
and Masters and
[name of department]
M.A. theses written before 1990 are listed by department
in a card file under the heading "Connecticut College authors
- Masters theses." Ask a Reference Librarian if you wish to
consult this list.
The library hopes to have all of the M.A. theses cataloged
online eventually. The current collection of M.A. theses in
the Archives is incomplete because over the years not all
theses have been deposited by the academic departments.
