3MT Award Background
The University of Queensland developed a program where students summarize their research in three minutes or less using pre-determined guidelines. The format is one where students make a presentation in three minutes and a panel of judges scores each student to determine a final winner. Cleveland State University hosts a qualifying competition to decide which student will represent our university at the regional competition sponsored by the Midwestern Association of Graduate Schools. In addition, this is the only College of Graduate Studies award that may be won in tandem with the College of Graduate Studies fall semester awards. The Cleveland State University 3MT (Three-minute Thesis) Competition is held in February each year.
The monetary prize associated with the Outstanding Achievement award is $500 (five hundred dollars), and the monetary prize associated with the Excellent Achievement award is $250 (two hundred fifty dollars). Award winners were recognized in the College of Graduate Studies.
