Who is invited to do honors work in URS?
URS offers qualified students the opportunity to write an honors thesis. To qualify for honors, students must have completed their junior year, completed four semesters registered in URS, have a cumulative GPA of 3.3, a GPA of 3.5 in the major (including the microeconomics and statistics requirements), and have completed at least 7 of the 13 major courses. In exceptional cases, the faculty will consider a petition to waive a requirement. Once admitted, an honors student selects a faculty adviser and develops and writes a thesis with close guidance. Theses must be 75 or fewer pages.
