Econ Real Talk

Research

 

So here's the deal: we don't just want you to succeed, we want you to excel. The only way to excel in Economics is to really devote a great amount of time to the discipline. Although that may be naturally easily for some students, sometimes it helps to have a little direction, and that's where guided research comes into play.

 

The Department provides two specific research programs that are geared toward the curriculum. They are:

• Economic Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (EUROP), a summer research where a student teams up with a particular member of faculty

• Co-Research Program, a Fall Economic elective where students aid graduate students in research
