Political Science 800 - Prospectus&DissertationWriting

This course is intended to help students make progress on their dissertation prospectus and dissertation. To do this, we will discuss formulating a dissertation topic, assembling a dissertation committee, drafting and defending a prospectus, writing and researching a dissertation, and finding and applying for both internal and external grants and fellowships. The course will regularly feature visits from faculty members from across the Department who will share their insights into this process. This class is intended for students in their sixth semester of study, although students at any stage in the prospectus and dissertation writing process are welcome to join the course.

This course is open to Doctoral POLISCI students only.
