You may also use the online catalog to locate UA Master's and Ph. D. theses by searching as an Author the following: university of alabama. dept of (name here). Click below for lists of UA theses:
• Ph. D. theses in biological sciences and related
• Master's theses in biological sciences and related
The above lists include theses in
      biological sciences or biology 1934 to present
      bacteriology 1962 to 1968
      microbiology 1958 to 1990
Display long/detailed form of each entry to view notes field indicating master's thesis or Ph. D. thesis.

Full texts of many University of Alabama dissertations and theses published from 1996 to the present are available in electronic format to UA faculty, staff, and students, in the Dissertations & Theses @ the University of Alabama database.
