Walden Dissertation Trivia


 
Some Walden dissertation trivia, in honor of Friday the 13th! 

There have been 4948 dissertations completed at Walden University, as listed in the dissertation database. The first one was in 1972 by William D. Isaacson, entitled: Jose Marti on American Life and Literature. 

A total of 644 psychology dissertations have been completed at Walden. The first was in 1983 by Paula Torly, entitled: Early Personality Formation as a Determinant of Mid-Life Crisis in Professional Women. 

Of the 644 psychology dissertations, 222 were in clinical psychology. A total of 496 of the psychology papers mentioned the word health, and 172 listed developmental psychology as a subject. Five mentioned the word animal in the title. 

A total of 112 psychology dissertations were completed this year so far. There were 204 in 2012, 159 in 2011, and 143 in 2010 

I am listed as the chair for 13 dissertations and committee member for 18, my first name is spelled 4 different ways in them! 

Next time, we will take a look at searching in the library. Do you have an issue or a question that you would like me to discuss in a future post? Send me an email with your ideas. leann.stadtlander@waldenu.edu
