Program Description
What is the Dissertation Boot Camp Training Program?
The dissertation boot camp consists of synchronous (LIVE/VIRTUAL) and interactive online workshops relevant to writing a dissertation and surviving a research review process. Workshops are designed for academic doctoral candidates and students pursuing either a Ph.D. or Professional doctorate within an institution doctorate degree program. Workshops include research methodology, data analysis software management (SPSS, NVivo, AtLasTi), reference management demos, academic writing, library research, and information literacy.
