      Hi Amanda. Doctoral students have the priority, but if we get applications from a lot of master’s students, we will consider having an additional session that focuses on writing for publication and the M.S. thesis.

The Dissertation House program has been highly successful in helping students make significant progress on their dissertations. It is widely regarded as a valuable resource for graduate students seeking to complete their degrees.
