Answer

Hello Nyrese,

Thank you for contacting the Argosy Library.

To search for Dissertations, navigate to the Online Library.  On the homepage, click on Explore DIssertations under the Featured Resources box on the right-hand side.  If blank space appears under Featured Resources, please know that you can hover your cursor there and the links are still active, just not showing due to the fact that we have a new website under constructon, 

Here is a direct link to the page, if needed.

http://thecampuscommon.com/library/auo/content/explore/dissertations.aspx

From the Explore Dissertations page, click one of the first 2 links. 

The first link, Argosy University Electronic Dissertations, only houses dissertation by Argosy students.

We do not collect data on author nationality, but you could still search the catalog and review the abstracts of dissertations to see if they meet your needs.  I searched for the keywords "Samoa" and retrieved 15 results that may be of interest to you.

Digital Dissertations and Theses (ProQuest) is considered the single, most authoritative database of dissertations, housing works from over 1000 universities.

When searching Samoa, I retrieved over 200 results.

On the results page, you can further narrow your results with the options on the left, including index term, University, University Location, and subject.  I did not find an option for author nationality, but again, you can review the abstract to see if they meet your needs.  Browsing the results, I did see quite a few dissertations that discuss case studies held at American Samoa Community College.

Please let us know if we can assist further.

Sincerely,

Amanda Henderson

Argosy University Library
