As a graduation requirement, all successfully defended TEDS Ph.D. dissertations, D.Min. projects, and M.A. theses must be submitted electronically to ProQuest for inclusion in its Dissertations and Theses database. (Please Note: M.A. capstone projects are not published.) This guide will instruct you how to create a ProQuest account and upload your document.
The TEDS community has access to its graduates' dissertations, projects, and theses via ProQuest's Dissertations and Theses @ Trinity International University database. These major works are provided in PDF format and are (in most cases) available from 1997 onward.
Please Note: You don't have to complete this entire process in one sitting. The ETD site will save your progress as you complete each page.
