Cal Poly Humboldt Theses and Projects

Masters Theses

Over 4000 masters theses completed at Cal Poly Humboldt are housed in the Cal Poly Humboldt Library and listed in the Cal Poly Humboldt Library Catalog where they are indexed by author, title, subject and department. 

Two copies of all theses completed up until 2005 are generally available in the Library. One copy is generally located in the regular book stacks. The second archives copy is in the Reading Room IF the content is about Northwestern California. If not, then this copy is in storage and may be paged through the front desk of the library. Most theses completed since Fall 2005 are also available online with links to the full text in the library catalog or directly through Cal Poly Humboldt Digital Commons or ScholarWorks. Print copies are no longer required to be submitted to the Library. Make sure to check the Library catalog record for the presence of "online access." All theses completed from 2016-2017 onward will be hosted on Cal Poly Humboldt Digital Commons.

Masters Projects

Some masters projects are available through Cal Poly Humboldt Digital Commons.

Senior Theses/Projects

Two departments, Geology and Environmental Resources Engineering, have required a senior thesis (Geology) or senior project (Environmental Resources Engineering) as part of their undergraduate degree program. These have been periodically submitted to the Library. As of June 2013 these two series have been reviewed and those titles related to Northwestern California have been retained in University Archives and may be requested through the Humboldt Room. The  Geology Senior Theses cover 1968-1983 and the  Environmental Engineering Senior Theses cover 1978-1992.
