How to Write a Dissertation or Thesis Proposal

Published on September 21, 2022 by Tegan George . Revised on July 18, 2023.

When starting your thesis or dissertation process, one of the first requirements is a research proposal or a prospectus. It describes what or who you want to examine, delving into why, when, where, and how you will do so, stemming from your research question and a relevant topic .

The proposal or prospectus stage is crucial for the development of your research. It helps you choose a type of research to pursue, as well as whether to pursue qualitative or quantitative methods and what your research design will look like.

What should your proposal contain, dissertation question examples, what should your proposal look like, dissertation prospectus examples, other interesting articles, frequently asked questions about proposals.

Prior to jumping into the research for your thesis or dissertation, you first need to develop your research proposal and have it approved by your supervisor. It should outline all of the decisions you have taken about your project, from your dissertation topic to your hypotheses and research objectives .

Depending on your department’s requirements, there may be a defense component involved, where you present your research plan in prospectus format to your committee for their approval.

Your proposal should answer the following questions:

Why is your research necessary?
What is already known about your topic?
Where and when will your research be conducted?
Who should be studied?
How can the research best be done?

Ultimately, your proposal should persuade your supervisor or committee that your proposed project is worth pursuing.

Prevent plagiarism. Run a free check.

Strong research kicks off with a solid research question , and dissertations are no exception to this.

Dissertation research questions should be:

Focused on a single problem or issue
Researchable using primary and/or secondary sources
Feasible to answer within the timeframe and practical constraints
Specific enough to answer thoroughly
Complex enough to develop the answer over the space of a paper or thesis
Relevant to your field of study and/or society more broadly
What are the main factors enticing people under 30 in suburban areas to engage in the gig economy?
Which techniques prove most effective for 1st-grade teachers at local elementary schools in engaging students with special needs?
Which communication streams are the most effective for getting those aged 18-30 to the polls on Election Day?

An easy rule of thumb is that your proposal will usually resemble a (much) shorter version of your thesis or dissertation. While of course it won’t include the results section , discussion section , or conclusion , it serves as a “mini” version or roadmap for what you eventually seek to write.

Be sure to include:

A succinct introduction to your topic and problem statement
A brief literature review situating your topic within existing research
A basic outline of the research methods you think will best answer your research question
The perceived implications for future research
A reference list in the citation style of your choice

The length of your proposal varies quite a bit depending on your discipline and type of work you’re conducting. While a thesis proposal is often only 3-7 pages long, a prospectus for your dissertation is usually much longer, with more detailed analysis. Dissertation proposals can be up to 25-30 pages in length.

Writing a proposal or prospectus can be a challenge, but we’ve compiled some examples for you to get your started.

Example #1: “Geographic Representations of the Planet Mars, 1867-1907” by Maria Lane
Example #2: “Individuals and the State in Late Bronze Age Greece: Messenian Perspectives on Mycenaean Society” by Dimitri Nakassis
Example #3: “Manhood Up in the Air: A Study of Male Flight Attendants, Queerness, and Corporate Capitalism during the Cold War Era” by Phil Tiemeyer

The research methods you use depend on the type of data you need to answer your research question .

If you want to measure something or test a hypothesis , use quantitative methods . If you want to explore ideas, thoughts and meanings, use qualitative methods .
If you want to analyze a large amount of readily-available data, use secondary data. If you want data specific to your purposes with control over how it is generated, collect primary data.
If you want to establish cause-and-effect relationships between variables , use experimental methods. If you want to understand the characteristics of a research subject, use descriptive methods.

A thesis or dissertation outline is one of the most critical first steps in your writing process. It helps you to lay out and organize your ideas and can provide you with a roadmap for deciding what kind of research you’d like to undertake.

Generally, an outline contains information on the different sections included in your thesis or dissertation , such as:

Your anticipated title
Your abstract
Your chapters (sometimes subdivided into further topics like literature review , research methods , avenues for future research, etc.)

A well-planned research design helps ensure that your methods match your research aims, that you collect high-quality data, and that you use the right kind of analysis to answer your questions, utilizing credible sources . This allows you to draw valid , trustworthy conclusions.

The priorities of a research design can vary depending on the field, but you usually have to specify:

Your research questions and/or hypotheses
Your overall approach (e.g., qualitative or quantitative )
The type of design you’re using (e.g., a survey , experiment , or case study )
Your sampling methods or criteria for selecting subjects
Your data collection methods (e.g., questionnaires , observations)
Your data collection procedures (e.g., operationalization , timing and data management)
Your data analysis methods (e.g., statistical tests or thematic analysis )

A dissertation prospectus or proposal describes what or who you plan to research for your dissertation. It delves into why, when, where, and how you will do your research, as well as helps you choose a type of research to pursue. You should also determine whether you plan to pursue qualitative or quantitative methods and what your research design will look like.

It should outline all of the decisions you have taken about your project, from your dissertation topic to your hypotheses and research objectives , ready to be approved by your supervisor or committee.

Note that some departments require a defense component, where you present your prospectus to your committee orally.

Formulating a main research question can be a difficult task. Overall, your question should contribute to solving the problem that you have defined in your problem statement .

However, it should also fulfill criteria in three main areas:

Researchability
Feasibility and specificity
Relevance and originality

“Business for a Better World” Dissertation Proposal Competition

Endorsed by Responsible Research in Business & Management (RRBM) and consistent with RRBM’s vision, the College of Business at Colorado State University is providing funding for dissertation proposals addressing business sustainability. We seek proposals from students across all business disciplines. The authors of the three proposals judged to have the greatest potential for enhancing societal well-being will each receive $6000. In addition, the winners along with leading scholars whose research is aimed at creating a better world, will be invited to participate in a virtual research workshop during which the winners will present their research.

Eligibility

To be eligible, proposals must focus on one or more environmental and/or social outcomes of business. Applicable areas of inquiry (stated in broad terms) include, but are not limited to:

ESG strategy
Natural capital
Circular economic systems
Greenhouse gasses
Conservation
Resource extraction
Climate change
Organizational purpose
Transparency, integrity, and trust
Health and safety
Poverty and insecurity
Equity, diversity and inclusion
Marketplace discrimination
Marginalized communities
Financial wellbeing
Maladaptive behavior and addiction
Technology and well-being

Eligibility is limited to those who are pursuing a doctorate in a business discipline and whose dissertation defense is expected to take place during the spring of 2025 or soon thereafter.

Proposals must be no longer than 20 pages in length and adhere to the following structure:

Introduction

Identify the problem you are studying and its societal significance. In doing so, illuminate how the research addresses an important gap in current knowledge and the helpfulness of the findings. The introduction must describe how the research contributes to understanding and practicing business in a sustainable manner. Thus, in addition to considering the economic priorities of business, the research must have strong social and/or environmental business implications.

This section of the proposal must detail the methods that will be utilized. Clarity, accessibility, and detail are critical such that reviewers gain an understanding of how the research will be executed. This section should be well organized and presented in a sequence that is easy to follow; use headings and subheadings. Figures and tables (preferably embedded within the text) should be used to complement the text and provide important details. Use clear descriptions of concepts while including highly technical material in appendices. Given page limits, make sure to include the information that is most critical in gaining a complete understanding of the research approach. From your description, it should be evident how the research design follows the principles of responsible research to enhance both the credibility and usefulness of the research findings. (See the RRBM position paper on www.rrbm.network for a description of the seven principles of responsible research.) Applicable theory and references to papers providing strong precedence for methodological approaches should be included; however, space constraints will not permit a review of the literature.

Conclusion and Managerial Implications

Explain how your work helps advance understanding of your subject and creates new opportunities for practitioners and researchers. The conclusion should answer these questions: How might your findings and interpretations affect and alter strategies, behavior, and practices in companies? What are the limitations of your study, and what aspects of your topic need further study? What is the next step for practitioners and researchers?

All text citations should be fully listed as references at the end of the paper. Follow the reference style used by the academic journals in your discipline.

File Submission

Dissertation proposal summaries should be submitted via separate pdf files:

Title page
Abstract
Main proposal with references, tables, figures, and appendices – 12-point font, double-spaced, left-justified, 1-inch margins, numbered pages (limited to 20 pages total excluding the title page and abstract).
An introductory letter from the student’s advisor confirming that the dissertation research is on schedule to be defended during the spring of 2025 or soon thereafter.

Proposals must be submitted via [email protected] by June 3, 2024 (11:59 p.m. Mountain Standard Time).

Funding decisions will be announced by August 1, 2024. Winners will present their proposals during a virtual workshop on Friday, September 27, 2024.

Meet the 2022 Business for a Better World Dissertation Proposal competition winners

By Allison Sylte

From the use of interracial couples in marketing to a hiring process equitable for people of diverse economic backgrounds to how corporations can address climate change, the three winners of the 2022 Business for a Better World Dissertation Proposal competition personify how business research can be used to create a better world.

The Colorado State University College of Business will give each of these scholars $6,000 to continue their work, and present their research during the Business for a Better World Research Symposium on Sept. 23.

Learn more about the three winners below.

Nicole Davis Terry College of Business, University of Georgia

Dissertation title: “Do consumers respond positively to all representations of diversity in marketing?”

Advisers: Julio Sevilla and Rosanna Smith

For her dissertation, Nicole Davis examines how consumers receive marketing campaigns featuring interracial vs. same-race couples, and how it influences their perceptions of a given brand.

“This research started because I’m part of an interracial couple,” she said, “and I’ve had some experiences with my husband that I know are different.”

Davis said she found that consumers actually have better perceptions about ads featuring couples who are mixed-race or who are both from minority populations. She said this information should give companies more incentive to include diversity in their marketing.

“Representation is important, and that’s what I’m hoping to show in my research,” Davis said.

Angie Fairchild

Unc kenan-flager business school.

Dissertation title: “Essays on corporate climate change mitigation”

Angie Fairchild originally wanted to conduct public health research, but an incident closer to home made her realize how much power businesses have over local communities.

“This really hit home when some scientists in my hometown discovered that a chemicals company had been knowingly and deliberately dumping toxins into my water supply,” she said. “I was so angry, but also curious about how they came to be. How can so much power over human lives ultimately rest in the hands of company-level self-regulation?”

This is what led Fairchild to study the intersection of sustainability and management, and led to the topic of her dissertation. It focuses on what companies are doing to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and the motivations behind these actions, as well as the growing cohort of companies working to remove emissions from the ambient air.

“I hope this study helps us understand how companies collaborate to resolve these huge challenges, both to hasten the great work being done in carbon removals, as well as to pave the way for future climate tech solutions that may be in a similar place in the future,” Fairchild said.

Kristie Moergen

Sam m. walton college of business, university of arkansas.

Dissertation title: “Same and cross-class interactions during employment interviews”

Before working toward a Ph.D. in management, Kristie Moergen studied as a counselor and, as a part of her training, worked with elementary school students, where she was struck by the extent to which students’ social class impacted what they imagined for their future careers.

“Our conversations highlighted the impact of students’ social class backgrounds and the unique strengths and challenges that different amounts of access to social, economic, and cultural capital facilitated,” Moergen said.

In part, this is what led her to study how same- and cross-class interactions between employers and job candidates impact selection outcomes, including employers’ assessments of hireability, salary recommendations and willingness to work with a job candidate.

“Research suggests that life in a lower social class equips people to be more interdependent and responsive to others’ needs, and, on average, to work better in groups, among other things. This has key implications for the workplace,” she said.

Her hope is that her research will help businesses see the potential in a hiring process that values diversity in social class and avoid relying on “gut feelings” that might unintentionally contribute to labor market disadvantage for job candidates from the lower social class.

“The hope is to prompt employers to be more thoughtful about designing their selection systems and to train their recruiters and hiring managers regarding social class,” she said.

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** It is my great pleasure to announce the results of this year's INFORMS/Organization Science Dissertation Proposal Competition. The eight finalists were selected out of more than 100 submissions based on evaluations by blind reviewers. Last weekend during the INFORMS Annual Conference, these finalists presented their dissertation proposals to a distinguished panel of judges.
