Honors Courses in Economics

This sequence of courses offers students of superior academic achievement the opportunity to work individually with a professor on a major research project in economics. This project involves in-depth and original research of an empirical and/or theoretical question in economics. The two-course sequence extends across two consecutive semesters. The degree with honors is conferred upon acceptance of the honors project by the College Honors Committee. Open only to seniors who are majoring in economics; who are in good academic standing with an overall GPA of 3.5 or better; and who submit a proposal and obtain the written permission of a full-time faculty mentor in the Department of Economics and Finance. These courses count as free electives, and may not be included in the 24-credit major in economics.
