Transitioning into Your Final Doctoral Study?
It's been a long time coming. After all those courses,
discussion posts, projects, writing assignments, and time spent researching
topics in your field... you are finally moving into your final doctoral study.
Each degree program has its own requirements and series of documents, but many
follow this pattern: premise; prospectus; and final study, project, or
dissertation. Your program may not include all three of those or something may
go by another name. However, these documents are a big shift from the course
work you have been doing.
The Walden University Writing Center has many resources to
help you as you transition into these documents that are part of your final
doctoral study. Writing Center instructors are here to help you with your preproposal documents: the premise and prospectus. Let's take a look at some of those now.
- Here are webinars designed especially for the doctoral capstone writer. You may want to check out the one about moving from coursework into capstone writing. These webinars share tips about the specific documents you will be writing.
- Writing at this level can often feel lonely. The writing process for the capstone documents is sometimes done without the hustle, bustle, and interaction that comes with course work and discussion posts. On the podcast, we talk about the value of a writing community for academic writers.
- The first documents you work on will be the premise and/or prospectus, depending on your program. The Walden Writing Center offers a preproposal starter kit to walk you through these documents.
- If you are working on a premise or prospectus, you can still take advantage of our paper review service. Just be sure to choose the "preproposal schedule."
- When the day comes when your prospectus is approved and you begin work on the proposal, you will find all the help you need on the Walden Writing Center form and style page.
If you are looking for a specific type of supporting resource, please reach out and let us know. We will be happy to find it for you.

Wow! The connection between APA-Style Writing and Sensitivity has never occurred to me in this context. I took notes.
