Welcome to the Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) program at West Virginia University. We’ve been promoting graduate student success at WVU through ETDs since 1998. Access to the WVU ETD collection averages 1.5 million downloads per year from over 100 countries, making WVU graduate research the most popular collection around. The majority of the documents are available as open access (unrestricted). As a result, WVU departments and alumni are able to effectively promote their research and publishing endeavors long after graduation. Through our digital library collections in the “wvuScholar” institutional repository we are transforming scholarly communications at WVU.

This site contains information and archives about ETDs at WVU and beyond. The resources are of interest to students, faculty, staff and the general public.
