Senior Thesis Honors Procedure

Beginning of Fall Semester:

• The economics department will determine student honors eligibility based on GPA and course criteria.

End of Fall Semester:

• The Senior Seminar faculty section leader will, in consultation with another faculty member, determine which of the theses written by honors eligible students are potentially of honors quality.  Approximately one week after the due date for Fall Semester grades, the section leader will provide those students with written comments outlining the minor revisions that they must make to receive honors. 

Beginning of Spring Semester:

• Honors eligible candidates will resubmit their revised theses to the economics department office no later than 2 pm on the first day of classes in the 3^rd week of Spring Semester.

Middle of Spring Semester

• The economics department will evaluate resubmitted theses and award honors at its first regular meeting after the Spring Semester resubmission deadline.
