Economics Majors:
If you would like to impress future employers or graduate programs with compelling evidence of your intelligence and willingness to take on a challenge, then consider participating in the Economics Department's honors program. The major-specific honors program is designed to benefit students who are interested in conducting academic research, regardless of whether you are already a member of the Honors College or not. If you want to consider applying to the economics honors program to start next Fall OR the following year, then you should attend an information session on Tuesday, Dec. 3rd at 2pm in 3100 Tydings Hall
Dr. Nuno Limão, director of the economics honors program, and Dr. Cindy Clement, director of undergraduate studies, will discuss:
(i) The pre-requisites for the program and the application process,
(ii) The benefits of pursuing honors and what it takes to succeed in the program.
If you plan to graduate in May 2021 and want to pursue honors, then there are specific courses that are important to register for in the coming spring and we would be happy to advise you on these at the information session.
We look forward to meeting you and answering your questions about the honors program. If you can’t make the meeting, please send an email to limao@econ.umd.edu to discuss honors.
