The Department of Economics values intensive and independent work by our students, as well as collaborate with peers and faculty members on economic research projects. To encourage and recognize high quality work, the department awards departmental honors to students who (1) satisfactorily complete the Honors Research Seminar (Economics 420); (2) earn a departmental grade point average of 3.2 or above; (3) complete a senior honors thesis; and (4) successfully defend the honors thesis before the faculty of the department. The Economics Department faculty members make the final decision on the granting of the honors degree. Proposal guidelines and expectations with respect to the honors thesis can be found here.
