Finding Dissertations & Theses

Boston college dissertations & theses, about boston college dissertations and theses.

Boston College began offering graduate programs in the 1920s. Since then the format of masters theses and doctoral dissertations has changed with the times: from the early technology of print books to microforms (both microfilm and microfiche) and now to PDFs. The information in this guide can help optimize your search for full text of a BC dissertation or masters thesis.

Access to BC Dissertations and Theses

Full text of BC dissertations and masters theses is available in a variety of formats and locations, depending on the publication date. Though there are outliers and exceptions, the following table shows likely availability, including format, location, and years.

* Stored offsite; requires retrieval. Must be used at Burns Library.

Additional information on accessibility:

• A PDF in  eScholarship@BC  is freely available to all; a PDF in ProQuest requires access to that database. Note: We provide all current BC students, faculty, and staff with access to the  ProQuest Dissertations and Theses  database.
• The full text of an electronic thesis or dissertation may not be available in  eScholarship@BC by the request of the author.  If you are unable to retrieve the full text from the eScholarship@BC record, it may be available in the  ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database.
• Microforms can be either microfilm (up to about 1980) or microfiche (from 1980 through 2008). Machine readers for both formats are available at O'Neill Library.
• The print versions available at Burns Library are stored offsite. Contact Burns Library, by submitting a question or calling 617-552-4861 to request retrieval (takes 1-2 days). These volumes must be used within the library.

Embargoes: The author may have requested an embargo, delaying the online availability of the dissertation or thesis. If a dissertation is embargoed in ProQuest and/or eScholarship@BC, you will be able to see the author, title, and abstract, but not the full text. Embargoes are typically requested when a dissertation is being submitted to a publisher that proscribes prior publication; a patent application is going to be filed; there is a need to protect proprietary information; or there is a need to respect confidentiality.

Ask for help

If you are sure the dissertation/thesis you are looking for was written before 1966, contact Burns Library by submitting a question or by phone 617-552-4861.

For all other assistance with searching, ask a librarian .

Human trafficking and natural disasters: an empirical analysis.

It is widely believed that natural disasters increase human trafficking from the affected region or country; however, credible analyses of the causal relationship are lacking. This paper estimates the causal effect of natural disaster occurrence on economic factors and the probability of human trafficking. I find that there is a significant, positive effect of disasters—as measured by an indicator for occurrence as well as disaster intensity—on human trafficking. Moreover, disasters negatively impact economic outcomes, suggesting a potential mechanism through which disasters indirectly affect trafficking. These findings are policy-relevant for anti-human trafficking and disaster relief organizations as they provide empirical evidence for a previously hypothesized relationship and may help prioritize the underemphasized rise in trafficking during times of inevitable chaos.

Departmental Honors Program

For admission to the Departmental Honors Program in Economics, the following criteria must be met:

• A minimum GPA of 3.5 in economics courses, including required statistics and mathematics courses. Borderline cases may be settled by the DUS with consent of the chair. Students with a minor in economics are not eligible for departmental honors.
• Consent of a faculty advisor in the Economics Department to oversee the thesis.
• Submission of an appropriate application during the spring semester of the junior year.
• Completion of EC 204 or EC 224 prior to taking EC 401 is required.

Qualified students interested in earning honors distinction should contact the department’s Director of Undergraduate Studies, professor   Todd Idson , no later than the second semester of their junior year. Refer to the   application   for more details.

To graduate with honors in the major, the following criteria must be met:

• Honors work involves the completion of 2 semesters of research and writing, for 8 credits, by registering in EC 401 and EC 402 (completion will fulfill two of the required five economics electives in the major). The final grade for this coursework will be determined by the thesis advisor.
• The attainment of honors requires the writing of a high-quality research paper based on a topic chosen by the student (and refined in discussions with an advisor), and its defense in front of the faculty advisor and two other faculty readers (the “defense committee”).
• The evaluation of the honors thesis, and determination of whether or not the student will receive honors, will be done by the defense committee. Completion of a thesis does not automatically entitle the student to honors even though credit will still be received for completion of EC 401 and EC 402.
• Admission into the honors program and conduct of honors projects will be overseen by the DUS in coordination with the chair.

Sample Program

The following is a typical program for an Economics major:

• 9 optional courses in economics or other disciplines
• 6 divisional studies courses; two courses each in the areas of humanities, natural sciences (one natural science course must have a laboratory component), and mathematics/computer science for those students who entered CAS in or after the Fall 1995 Semester. Information on which courses fulfill the divisional studies requirement may be found in the Undergraduate Programs Bulletin. Students who entered the College of Arts & Sciences prior to the Fall 1995 Semester should refer to the Undergraduate Programs Bulletin issued in the year of their entrance to the College for information on specific divisional studies requirements
• Freshman year: EC 101, 102, MA 121, WR 100/150, 4 other courses**
• Sophomore year: EC 201, 202, 203, 204, 4 other courses**
• Junior/senior years: 6 courses from EC 320 to 599, 10 other courses**

**These 19 other courses generally include 4 courses in a foreign language (unless waived)

Honors Thesis

The honors thesis is an opportunity to undertake original thinking and to work closely with faculty members on advanced research topics or creative endeavors.

The Honors Thesis is a substantial study of a carefully defined question or problem that’s important to you. This problem may be critical, experimental, applied, or creative in nature.

Every Honors Thesis will take the form of a written document that demonstrates critical thinking, a mastery of disciplinary material, and the communication of complex ideas. For the Creative Portfolio, your document will be accompanied by an artifact such as a musical score, film, computer program, or invention that embodies the work done for the thesis. The completion of an honors thesis concludes with a final presentation.

Why do an Honors Thesis?

The Honors Thesis is a comprehensive effort of original scholarship and is the culminating experience of your Commonwealth Honors College academic journey.
