DEPARTMENTAL HONORS PROGRAM:
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 GPA = 3.5 and above and availability of an appropriate supervising professor.  The supervisor works individually with the student over a two-term sequence, 50:220:495-496, during the student’s last three terms before graduation.  Total credits earned are determined by the department according to the nature of the project; no grade is given until completion of the two-term sequence and department approval of an honors thesis embodying the project.  Interested students should contact their academic advisors.

REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY PROJECTS:
Enrollment in 50:220:491 Independent Study Projects in Economics requires prior approval by the department and the participating faculty member.  All independent study projects require at least the same rigors of training, instruction, research, and grading as do other upper-division Economics courses.  To enroll in 50:220:491, students must have completed nearly all of the course requirements for the major in Economics and have achieved a grade-point average in Economics of at least 3.0.  A student is limited to enroll in only one independent study project within the Economics department each term and a maximum of two during the degree program with a GPA=3.5 above.
