Honors Projects

Many Economics majors choose to complete an Honors project on a topic of their interest. Most or all of the work associated with an Honors project is done in the senior year, though it may be begun earlier, and culminates in a research or critical paper or its counterpart in the creative arts.

Here’s a sampling of what some of our students have worked on:

• John Matthew C. Camara ’19, “Ethnic Enclaves: Wage Premium or Wage Penalty for Second Generation Asian Americans?”
  Prof. Judith McKinney, Adviser
• Lindsey Mulligan ’18, “Humanity at Work: The Social Implications of Technological Advancements”
  Keoka Grayson, Adviser
