The one-stop shop for all UTA School of Social Work dissertations written by PhD students for their degree requirements!
***Graduate students submitting a thesis or dissertation MUST submit to the correct collection, based on their degree (Masters [thesis] or PhD [dissertation]) and department.
Also, when you create an account on MavMatrix, please use an email address that you will continue to have access to after graduation. For example, don't use a UTA STAFF email address (ending in only uta.edu) unless you will continue your employment after graduation. Access to those emails terminates immediately upon graduation. Student email addresses (ending in mavs.uta.edu) should have longer access periods. We recommend using a personal, non-UTA email address to ensure continued access and communication.***
