Publishing Your Dissertation
The electronic version of your approved applied dissertation is submitted by the Abraham S. Fischler College of Education and School of Criminal Justice to the NSU library for inclusion in the MARPs, Practicums, and Applied Dissertations database. Only individuals with valid NSU identification numbers have access to this database.
Upon degree conferral, you may submit the dissertation to the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses database for greater exposure.
