A Proven Framework for Scholarly Success
Every engagement is built on three principles refined over 20 years of guiding PhDs to completion.
Mentorship & Community
The most successful doctoral students don't work in isolation. They build networks of advisors, peers, and mentors who challenge and support them throughout the journey. GradCapFinder helps you identify the community you already have and connect you with the scholarly network you need. Our students span six continents -- see the map for the global community you're joining.
Structured Accountability
Progress in a doctoral program can stall without regular, constructive feedback. We provide structured check-ins that keep your research moving and your writing sharp. Through individualized assessment, we help you recognize what's working and where to adjust. This is not generic advice -- it is targeted guidance rooted in your specific discipline, timeline, and goals.
Knowledge to Publication
Your ideas deserve to reach the scholarly conversation. We guide you from raw research through polished, peer-reviewed publication. With experience across 300+ published articles, Dr. Bozeman helps you translate effort into tangible academic contributions. Whether it is your first article or your fiftieth, the process becomes clearer with an experienced guide.
Drawing on two decades of experience with doctoral candidates, Graduate School is a Marathon offers honest, practical wisdom for every stage of the PhD journey.
Inside, you will learn to:
- Navigate the uncertainty and emotional landscape of graduate school with confidence
- Develop your voice as a scholarly writer, analyst, and professional

Dr. Dane Bozeman
Dr. Dane Bozeman works with graduate students as a consultant educator at GradCapFinder. He believes that earning a PhD represents an achievement for both individuals and their communities. Dr. Bozeman collaborates with graduate students to tailor individual learning experiences. In doing so, he emphasizes four core themes: the learner, knowledge, assessment, and community. By focusing on these themes, Dr. Bozeman ensures that the students he works with make the most of their graduate school experience.
Dr. Bozeman graduated with his doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction from Texas A&M University in 2010. He believes that the world becomes a better place when people choose to pursue their PhDs. His professional work experience includes seven years as a Mathematics and Science teacher in both public and private secondary schools, eight years as a university instructor for undergraduate and graduate level courses in Human Cognition and Statistics, and over thirty years as a researcher on projects across the Humanities and Sciences. Additionally, he co-authored Graduate School is a Marathon, an autobiographical book describing the experiences of graduate students, and currently advises on the development of Quester, an AI-supported app for graduate students.
Through GradCapFinder, Dr. Bozeman has personally worked with over 120 graduate students from diverse regions around the world over the past 20 years.
