IWS Thesis Collection

IWS keeps on hand two copies of every thesis for each graduating Doctor of Worship Studies student. These bound volumes are available for use in the IWS library. Digital copies are available for IWS students and faculty at no charge.

A current listing of IWS theses is available in two forms:

• Chronological by graduation year http://www.iws.edu/alumni/theses_chronological.html
• Alphabetical by author last name http://www.iws.edu/alumni/theses.pdf

Theological Research Exchange Network

TREN provides digital, microfiche and printed copies of theses from a number of schools, including IWS. IWS students and faculty may obtain a copy of any TREN electronic document at no cost, through a subscription IWS purchases each year. Students will need to purchase printed documents directly from TREN—some of these are not available as electronic files. Reminder: IWS theses can be obtained at no charge through the IWS Library.
