This study was conducted to find out the total number of theses available at the College of Education Research Library Mindanao State University, Marawi City from 1996 to 2012 for the Elementary Education, and from 1997 to 2013 for the Secondary Education. After determining the number of available theses, analysis of the journal use in the bibliography area was done to find out the total number of theses that used journals as reference, to determine the most cited journals including the authors and finally, in which part of the theses are the journals were cited. The results of the study found out that there were 494 theses which used journals as their reference and was cited in the bibliography part, some of the theses used journals in the text but the journals were not cited in the bibliography of the research. The most cited journal was The Modern Teacher which accounted for ninety-six (96) citations. It was also revealed that the most cited authors were Belen C. Bautista and Antonio E. Isidro. It is concluded that there were few students who really used journals in their paper and some forgot to cite them in the bibliography. Thus, it is recommended that the thesis advisers of the College of Education students must be cautious in checking the bibliography entries against the body of the theses to insure the completeness and accuracy of Journal bibliography entries were cited and other source of information recognized in the bibliography area.
