A "Basic Search" allows you to search by the name of your college or keyword(s) .
- On the Library home page, click the blue Databases tab.
- Search for "dissertations"
- Click Dissertations & Theses @ Rush University
- Enter your the name of your college in quotation marks (e.g., "College of Nursing") or keyword (e.g., "Crohn's disease") into the search box, and click the magnifying glass.

Note: Searches by college will not retrieve all dissertations and theses by students in that college, as authors often do not list their college affiliations.
