Ready to Succeed in your Program?
What is
The Grad Academy?
__________
You’re a graduate student.
You seek to finish your program and not be one of the 50% that drop out. You have drive. You have determination. And you need practical guidance on how to complete your program.
The Grad Academy is a self-paced, empirically-based workshop designed to teach you all of the skills you need to succeed in your program. That way, you can finally start thinking about how you can make a difference, instead of worrying about how to finish your program.
Master Academic Writing
The Grad Academy teaches you how to craft your academic papers, theses, and dissertations.
Conquer Academic Reading
We teach you the methods to quickly and effectively read and comprehend academic articles and books.
Speed up your research
We teach you how to approach research without wasting time drowning in sources.
Overcome Impostor Phenomenon
Feeling like a fraud? The Grad Academy teaches you how impostor feelings affect your success and how to overcome them.

Hands down the most useful and relevant workshop I have experienced in my grad school journey.
I learned how to structure my writing, read articles for reviews, and outside resources that can help manage my time and writing so that I can be successful in my graduate program. I feel more confident that I can learn how to write like professionals in my field and publish in a top journal before I finish my program, something I was not sure I could do before The Grad Academy.”
Every part of that workshop was just jaw-dropping. I thought ‘Oh, my goodness gracious, if I would’ve had this last semester, I would’ve been so much less stressed’!
