Using the CIR Thesis Archive

The CIR Thesis Archive offers current CIR students the opportunity to search and download all CIR theses submitted in or after the winter quarter, 2008.

In order to access the CIR Thesis Archive, you must register for an account & password, which requires an Social Sciences Computing Services (SSCS) password.

• You may apply for a SSCS password on the SSCS website; you will need a CNet and password.
• Once you have obtained a SSCS password, you can request an archive account here.
• After you have received your archive account, you can login to the CIR Thesis Archive. 

Once you are in the archive, you may search the papers by using up to two terms in the search box in the upper right corner; terms may be author name, keywords, discipline, preceptor or words from the title or abtract. Results will appear below the menu of available papers. You may also browse the archive manually by selecting any of the available papers in the menu. Papers are organized by program and concentration, with a separate section for Kaplan Prize winning papers.
