We have undergraduate theses here at my university. I was
wondering how I might enter one of these into my BibTeX .bib file.
Ideally, there would be some way I could change the @MastersThesis
or @PhDThesis styles to be @BachelorsThesis or something similar,
and print "Bachelor's Thesis" in the references list output.

Alternatively, I guess some way of using @misc might suffice, but
it seems hard to get the school and address to be listed
in that format.

Any suggestions? Here's what I attempted, but the
school name and address were not listed in the output when
using ieeetr.bst:

@Misc{Doe:ANS95,
author = "John Doe",
title = "Analysis of Neat Stuff using a Super Algorithm",
school = s-PSU,
address = s-PSU:adr,
year = 1995,
month = apr,
note = "Undergraduate Honors Thesis",
pages = "i + 90"
}

Both @MastersThesis and @PhDThesis accept a "type" field:

@MastersThesis{Doe:ANS95,
type = "Undergraduate Honors Thesis",


school = s-PSU,
address = s-PSU:adr,
author = "John Doe",
title = "Analysis of Neat Stuff using a Super Algorithm",

...
}

Make a private copy of the .bst and hack a BachelorsThesis function
from the PhDThesis function. Bibtex styles aren' exactly trivial to
work on, but I would guess that wouldn't be much bother.

More trouble than it's worth, IMHO.
