Theses and dissertations are formal research papers that exhaustively address a topic, which PhD and many Master's candidates are required to complete as a final step in working towards their degrees. A paper in support of a PhD is referred to as a "dissertation"; a paper in support of a Master's degree is a "thesis".
The best approach for finding a thesis or dissertation depends on whether you're looking for a paper from NC State or one from another institution.
