Students seeking the distinction of graduating with "Honors in Economics" and the experience of intense investigation of a particular topic in economics may do so in the Honors Program. Eligibility for such a project is judged by the student`s qualifications and availability of an appropriate supervising professor. The supervisor works individually with the student over a two- or three-term sequence, 50:220:396, 495-496, during the student`s last three terms before graduation. Total credits earned are determined by the department according to the nature of the project; a grade is not given until completion of the three-term sequence and department approval of an honors thesis embodying the project. A GPA of 3.5 or better is required for participation in the Honors Program.
