Majors in their senior year with Economics GPA of 3.33 or higher at
the end of the Fall semester of that year are eligible. The Department
invites them to apply for departmental honors at the beginning of the
Spring semester of their senior year. December graduates would be
eligible to apply in the prior year Spring semester. December
graduates must contact the Department Chair in the Spring semester to
discuss their eligibility.
Applicants submit a portfolio of what they feel are their two best research papers in Economics, re-done in clean copy.

A committee of Economics Department faculty members selects students
for departmental honors. The diplomas of students who achieve
departmental honors will note that fact.
Recipients of Departmental Honors are:
