The USU Archives maintains an online collection of USU theses, dissertations, and DNP projects. The collection includes USU theses and dissertations from 1981, when the University began granting graduate degrees, through today. The collection includes over 150 theses and dissertations from the Graduate School of Nursing and over 500 from the School of Medicine. Also included are theses from the USU Postgraduate Dental College, which was established in 2010. As theses and dissertations are completed each year, the Archives adds those documents to the online collection.
Additionally, the collection includes Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) projects from the Daniel K. Inouye Graduate School of Nursing. These projects demonstrate the graduate's ability to evaluate and apply evidence to improve health and healthcare system outcomes. These original, innovative projects have informed clinical decisions, generated new policies and simulated process or practice changes, with the goal of improving care outcomes by increasing safety and effectiveness in the highly complex Military and Federal Healthcare Systems.

Thesis template.
All PhD dissertations and MS-Plan A theses should first adhere to the Utah State University Publication Guide found at the USU Graduate Studies Academic forms page . The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering will only accept the LaTeX format style.
Here are the updated instructions per Dr. Scott Budge:
- Go to the thesis template page .
- The students can then download all of the files in the directory and use them to build the thesis example. The latest revision of the LaTeX thesis example will always be the one in the directory.
- If any student needs to modify the files to make his/her thesis work, they should contact Dr. Scott Budge .
Make sure that you have the correct title for the dean of Graduate Studies and also a Public Abstract, as well as your regular abstract. The order and format is built into LaTeX.
Here are some helpful programs:
- This is the link to ProTeX . It is a convenient and free package that combines everything you need to create LaTeX documents.
- This is the link to Jabref . I've found it very useful for managing my .bib files. It can link to files on your computer or on the web and includes a search engine for articles in several databases (including IEEEXplore) and automatically imports the reference. – Spencer Jackson
- I also know that many people that are on a Windows Platform like using TeXniCenter . It is a very useful Latex GUI program. – Andrew Pound

Master's - Plan A Master’s plan A degrees require a thesis and 6-15 thesis credits. Your plan A thesis should contribute to your field by presenting your original research or a new perspective of existing knowledge. You’ll choose the problem or subject to focus on with your major professor by the end of your second semester of graduate study. You should perform thesis research during the semester(s) you are registered for thesis credit and when faculty support is available. Theses must follow USU publication formatting standards. View Degree Plan
Master's - Plan B As a master’s plan B student, you’ll be required to write a final paper or create a work of art. Your program of study must include 2-3 thesis credits. The plan B paper is usually a literature review based on inquiry, systematic research and analytic critique of your findings. Your conclusions should enhance knowledge in your discipline. Although perhaps less intensive or original than a master’s thesis, a plan B paper must follow the standard USU thesis/dissertation format and reflect equivalent scholarship standards. You will defend your plan B paper, but it will not be reviewed by your assistant dean or signed by the dean of graduate studies. Like a thesis, your plan B paper will be submitted to the Merrill-Cazier Library for internal publication. View Degree Plan
Professional - Plan C Some programs offer a professional degree option that does not require a thesis or paper to graduate. View Degree Plan
Doctorate Doctoral degrees requirements vary by degree program. If a dissertation is required, it will represent a culmination of original research in your discipline. At least 12 research credits are required for Ph.D. and Ed.D. degrees. Dissertations must follow USU publication formatting standards. View Degree Plan

Ma/ms thesis.
For any MS/MA degree you must complete a thesis. You do not complete a thesis for the MTC program. The English Department offers two thesis options: Plan A and Plan B.
The Supervisory Committee
A master’s thesis committee must be comprised of at least three members. Once a faculty member has agreed to serve as your committee chair (which means they will be the faculty member you work most closely with as you complete your thesis), you should work with the chair to select the other two committee members.
Each member of the committee must have at least a master’s degree, and at least one member of the committee should be from outside your area of emphasis (whether inside or outside of the department). If you request a non-tenure-line faculty member to chair or be a member of a thesis committee, and this faculty member has not previously been approved by the area (folklore, etc.) committee to do so, the DGS must receive written approval from the area committee.
Once you’ve selected your committee, you will need to fill out a Supervisory Committee Form with Carol Hatch , the department’s Graduate Program Coordinator (GPC)
The committee should be approved by the end of the second semester of your graduate study.
The Proposal
Before you write a thesis you will write a thesis proposal, which will describe your intended project for your committee and ensure that you have their approval and recommendations before you get too far into your work. You will schedule a proposal “defense” (much less intense than the actual thesis defense) with the whole committee one you’ve completed the proposal, and then with their approval you will fill out the Thesis/Project Approval form [LINK].
The faculty in your specific program, especially your thesis advisor, will help guide you on the specifics of a proposal for your field. As a general guide, please see the following documents:
- Plan A Thesis Proposal Guide
- Plan B Thesis Proposal Guide
Before you start writing even the roughest draft of your Plan A thesis or your Plan B project, do the following:
- Change the left margins on your document to 1.5” and verify that the top, bottom, and right margins are 1”.
- Learn what page breaks are and how to use them. Do not use multiple returns to create page breaks. Use the actual page break feature. For example, table of contents, copyright page, and the first page of your writing should all have a page break.
- Learn how to use headings and associated section breaks. Using headings and section breaks keeps your table of contents accurate as you write and edit. It also makes your work more accessible to people with disabilities.
- Consult with your major professor/thesis chair to determine which style guide (e.g., MLA, APA, or Chicago) you’re going to use. If it involves footnotes, put those in as you go!
- Learn how to use tab stops. You should not be using tab repeatedly to create an indent other than a general paragraph indent.
If you are writing a non-traditional thesis (such as incorporating a podcast or a website or incorporating a multi-paper format), make sure your thesis committee approves the structure/format at your proposal defense.
If you are writing a creative writing thesis, most likely you will wish to preserve the intellectual property rights for future publication. If so, you will need to complete an Embargo Request . Your thesis chair will inform the GPC to send the form around for signatures.
Contact the English Department’s Thesis Reviewer, Jenny Mansfield as you begin writing your thesis for help with formatting your thesis in accordance with USU publication guidelines . Jenny will also check your completed thesis before you submit it to the Graduate School.
The Defense
Once you and your thesis chair decide that your thesis is complete, you will need to defend it before your supervisory committee. This is a formal event, about which your thesis chair will talk with you in detail. A typical MA/MS thesis defense involves a short presentation / overview of the work by the student, which can be open to the public if the student chooses, followed by a closed session (meaning the student and any guests leave the room) during which the committee discusses their thoughts and creates a series of questions or talking points that they want to pose to the student. When the student is invited back in, the discussion period begins, during which the student addresses the committee’s comments and questions.
The student will be asked to leave the room again while the committee confers, and the student will be brought back in to hear the committee’s decision. The committee may decide to pass the thesis with or without revisions, which may be major or minor. Remember, while this is called a “defense,” and while you will indeed be expected to defend your work, the goal of the thesis defense is not to trip you up and catch you in a mistake. Rather, the goal is to provide you with an opportunity to contextualize your work, to explain the decisions you made along the way, and to showcase your expertise on the topic.

Students requesting changes to thesis/dissertation:
Upon final deposit in the Institutional Repository (IR), a thesis/dissertation becomes part of the student’s official academic record. No changes may be made to the thesis or dissertation after it has been approved by the School of Graduate Studies.
A student may submit a request to include an addendum to the completed document. This requires the support of the thesis/dissertation chair and written approval from the Vice Provost for Graduate Studies. The author must submit a written request to the School of Graduate Studies including the proposed addendum and a letter of support from the dissertation chair. The School of Graduate Studies will forward the addendum and approval to the Library, and the addendum will be added to the record in the IR.
