SPARK Digital Commons Repository

SPARK is the Institutional Repository (IR) for Bethel University's digital resources and digital commons for advancing the strategic objective of supporting open access to Bethel's scholarship.

Student Publications

Students have the opportunity to showcase their research and scholarship at Bethel by publishing their undergraduate work and graduate theses and dissertations (ETDs).

Theses and Dissertations URL:   https://spark.bethel.edu/etd/

Monthly reports are sent to authors so they know how far their reach extends. The reports include:

  • Downloads
  • Abstract views
  • Citation counts
  • Full text views of their publications 

Publishing can positively impact not only a student's confidence, but also their professional reputation.

SPARK enriches Bethel's collegiate community by providing value and attracting quality faculty, students, and staff.
