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.
