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-semester sequence,
50:220:495-496, during the student's last two semesters 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 two-semester sequence and departmental approval of an
honors thesis embodying the project. A grade-point average of 3.5 or better is required
for participation in the honors program.
