TADA! SELECTED BY THE PHD PROJECT
TO HELP STUDENTS COMPLETE THEIR DOCTORAL DEGREE

ABD Solutions Co. has created groundbreaking interactive multimedia software

PHOENIX, AZ., March, 2005 – TADA!™ Thesis and Dissertation Accomplished, developer of the groundbreaking interactive thesis and dissertation learning software, proudly announces its collaboration with The PhD Project, a multi-million dollar corporate and academic-led effort to increase minority representation among business professors.

The PhD Project-TADA! collaboration aims to help doctoral students stay committed and accomplish their goals. TA-DA! is based on a step-by-step process to help students complete their masters thesis and dissertation. The PhD Project is providing TADA! software to all minority business doctoral students associated with The PhD Project, including those who will begin their programs this September.

“TADA! Thesis and Dissertation Accomplished interactive CD helps doctoral students in all stages of their career – in particular the more advanced students who might be facing issues of procrastination, isolation, and time management,” said Bernie Milano, president of the KPMG Foundation which administers The PhD Project. “TADA!'s comprehensive methodology is a great complement to our efforts to diversify business school faculty.”

“We are honored to join the nation-wide effort to diversity the academic faculty,” said Dr. Wendy Carter, co-founder of ABD Solutions Company. “Helping students complete their thesis or dissertation is TADA!’s main priority. This software will benefit doctoral students worldwide and will be a powerful resource for graduate students writing a thesis or dissertation.”

The research on graduate attrition shows that only 50% of students complete their degree. Traditional books on surviving a doctoral program focus on the writing aspect of completing a doctoral dissertation, which has often proven ineffective. Completing the thesis or dissertation component of any graduate program can be considerably difficult and filled with many other obstacles, traditions and prerequisites that involve more than just writing. Even the best writers struggle to finish their degree.

TA-DA!-Thesis and Dissertation Accomplished is a CD-ROM resource tool that supersedes the traditional methods by using a comprehensive interactive technology to introduce a new learning paradigm and methodology to increase the student’s competitive advantage in completing a thesis or dissertation, and thus their graduate degree. TA-DA! addresses every aspect of the process by providing specific, structured guidance that explicitly prepares students to move their thesis or dissertation forward on a timely basis – moving past procrastination and other roadblocks. The writing portion then becomes a very manageable part of the process. It is a highly recommended resource tool for those starting a thesis or dissertation program or for those who are already working on a thesis or dissertation and need specific help on any part of the process.
