Three Minute Thesis Competition

 Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition - Registration is Open! 


The Graduate School is excited to host Binghamton University's 4th annual Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition on Thursday, April 27th from 12:00-1:00pm in the Mandela Room (during Research Days).

The 3MT Competition is open to course-complete (CC) master's and ABD doctoral students from all disciplines and the goal is to present your research to a non-specialist audience in 3 minutes or less (180 seconds!) using only one PowerPoint slide. Monetary prizes will be awarded to the top 3 finalists ($500, $400 and $300) and a People's Choice winner ($150) who will be selected in real-time by the audience.

Past participants have expressed that the 3MT Competition not only helped them to focus on the most important aspect(s) of their research area, but also provided an opportunity to build their confidence in discussing their own research. Please encourage graduate students who are conducting exciting research to submit the 3MT Competition Registration form by 5:00pm on Monday, March 20th.  Prep sessions with Ellen Tilden will begin the week of March 27th.
