Doctoral Consultations are live, one-on-one sessions that provide in-depth, high-level, and customized research assistance with a reference librarian. These sessions are most beneficial for students working on a capstone, thesis, or dissertation.
ProQuest's Dissertations and Theses Global is a database that hosts 2.5 million projects in full-text. If you're a Master's or Doctoral student at National University or JFKU, and have written a successful thesis, manuscript or dissertation for your capstone project, you can submit your work to their database. That means other students and academics around the world will have access to your work.
Please reach out to the NU Registrar (registrar@nu.edu) for more information.
You can see a list of National University capstones in ProQuest here.
