Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) Info Session

Could you present your dissertation in just three minutes? The Three-Minute Thesis (3MT®) is an internationally recognized competition that challenges doctoral candidates to share their research clearly and engagingly for a general audience—using only one slide.

At Mizzou, 3MT® is more than a competition. Participants receive training in storytelling, scriptwriting, and public speaking performance, along with practice sessions and feedback to prepare for the event. The first-place winner will receive $500 in professional development funds and the opportunity to represent Mizzou at the regional 3MT® competition.
