Click here to learn more about Dissertation Boot Camp

The Dissertation Boot Camp was developed to help students progress through the difficult writing stages of the dissertation process, towards its completion. By offering an environment and support for intense, focused writing time, the camp provides participants with the structure and motivation to overcome typical roadblocks in the dissertation process. Our goal is to assist each participant in making significant progress towards completing their project.

This program is directed primarily towards students in the final stages of writing their dissertation, after their data has been collected. An individual working on a dissertation proposal, Master’s thesis, or other projects could also benefit from the structured time, space, professional advising, and motivational support of the program. It is limited to 20 Stanford graduate students per session.

Registration for Session Two begins on Monday, July 28 at 10am.

Registration requires the payment of a $100 Refundable Check or Money Order Deposit.
