Each semester, we offer a Dissertation and Thesis Writing Boot Camp designed to support graduate students who are in coursework or actively writing their dissertations with support, information, and community. Master’s and doctoral students are encouraged to join our boot camps multiple times during their journey at IUP.

Our boot camps take place on a weekend virtually via Zoom.

  • Fall Dissertation and Thesis Writing Boot Camps are designed for early-stage writing concerns such as time management and goal setting, writing literature reviews, managing and finding resources, and study design.

There are many ways to participate in our boot camps. You can:

  • Attend one or more of our five workshops
  • Spend time writing in your silent writing room
  • Have consultations with a variety of support offices, including the Center for Scholarly Communication, Applied Research Lab, IUP Library, and/or Thesis and Dissertation Office.
