3-Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition

The Missouri State University 3-Minute Thesis (3MT) competition will showcase students who have been nominated by their college to present their research  because they represent the breadth and quality of graduate research on campus. These students will have three minutes and one slide to explain their research to the judges and audience. The winner of this competition will represent MSU at the Midwest Association of Graduate Schools (MAGS) annual conference in April.

What is 3MT? Oral communication of a student’s research to an educated layperson is often lacking in graduate programs.  The University of Queensland developed a program where students summarize their research in three minutes or less using pre-determined guidelines; longer presentations are disqualified.
