ECON 87 Senior Thesis
As explained above under 'Economics Honors Program', selected students will be invited to enroll in ECON 87 after they have completed their 40-level course. Alternatively, a student can initiate honors work in ECON 85 and then enroll in ECON 87 with the approval of the student's adviser and the vice chair. Honors students will normally take ECON 87 in the term following their enrollment in ECON 85, or alternatively, following their enrollment in a 40-level course in which a thesis has been started. Other majors who wish to write a non-Honors thesis for single course credit will be required to have as prerequisite background all regularly offered courses in the chosen field of study and may take the course in either the first or second terms of the senior year.
Prerequisite
Requires permission of the vice chair, permission of the department faculty member who will be advising the student, and, in the case that the research was begun in a 40-level course, the permission of the faculty member who taught the 40-level course in which the thesis topic and the research were developed.
