What writing resources are available for students working on the prospectus or premise?

The Writing Center offers one-to-one reviews for students working on their preproposal (premise and prospectus) documents. Take a look at the website for some step-by-step instructions on how to make an appointment. 

 Additionally, you can find program-specific writing guidance and materials on the Writing Center website. Remember to review, download, and use the program-specific premise and prospectus templates (on the templates webpage) as well.

Additionally, the Academic Skills Center offers 6-week doctoral writing workshops for students working on their preproposal (premise and prospectus) documents all the way through the final capstone chapters.  Find more information regarding the doctoral writing workshops on the Academic Skills Center's website. 

For more content-specific resources on the premise or prospectus, take a look at the left-hand sidebar on the webpage of the Office of Student Research Administration (part of the Office of Research and Doctoral Services), and select your program.
