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.
