Thesis & Dissertation Lists — High NRA Universities

This page shows ALL graduates — every student who submitted a thesis or dissertation to the institutional repository in the 2016–2024 window, not only non-resident aliens. Americans, permanent residents, and international students are all included.

Data source: Names were collected from each university's OAI-PMH "Theses and Dissertations" collections. These typically include both doctoral dissertations and master's theses. Only Caltech has explicit PhD-only filtering. Where possible, records are labeled PhD or MS based on available metadata, but many records cannot be distinguished. Each name links directly to the original record for verification.

IPEDS NRA % refers to the percentage of STEM doctoral completions awarded to Non-Resident Aliens at each university, as reported in the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) maintained by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Completions data is from the IPEDS Completions Survey. Universities are ranked by NRA share of STEM PhDs.

Origin estimates are produced by a name-classification model and should be treated as approximate. Toggle "Show estimated origin" above to display or hide these labels.
