Welcome to Maryland's Dissertation House
The Dissertation House provides participants with an opportunity for productive and rewarding scholastic engagement. Students who participate in this multi-day challenge will spend each day thinking, writing, and swapping ideas about their doctoral dissertations. Students will learn effective time-management skills; learn how to set small manageable goals, and will meet with a dissertation coach one-on-one to discuss and address any obstacles that might prevent them completing their degrees. This is a multi-day (9am-5pm) commitment to focus on the dissertation. The Dissertation House activities focus on places where students typically have problems: conceptualizing a topic, developing a pre-proposal, writing a literature review, writing a proposal, analyzing data, writing the last chapter, and editing. The Dissertation House is a project of PROMISE: Maryland's Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP)
and is led by UMBC: An Honors University in Maryland
