Washington University in St. Louis Dissertation and Thesis Editing Services

Washington University in St. Louis administers doctoral and master's dissertation and thesis submissions through the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and its professional schools — including the McKelvey School of Engineering, the Olin Business School, the Brown School of Social Work, and the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts. WashU's Graduate School enforces detailed formatting requirements that manuscripts must satisfy before ProQuest ETD deposit is approved, and its research culture across medicine, engineering, social policy, and the arts sets high expectations for the scholarly and technical quality of every submission.

Since 2002, Editors For Students has supported doctoral candidates and graduate researchers with our Manuscript Standard — PhD-led editorial oversight that ensures your dissertation or thesis meets the precise requirements your committee and Graduate School enforce before a manuscript clears. Our Natural Intelligence approach means human editors, not automated processing, work through your document to preserve your scholarly voice while eliminating the errors that delay approval.

WashU's Graduate School accepts Chicago, APA, and discipline-appropriate citation formats; your editor will apply the correct conventions throughout your manuscript and ensure full alignment with WashU's formatting specifications before your ProQuest ETD deposit deadline.
