          3. Complete ECO 4350, Directed Honors Research Investigation in Economics (SLO: CR), and receive a grade of at least a B in that course.

          5. A student is required to write a senior thesis in an area that reflects the student’s depth interest. A student with an international economics concentration must write a senior thesis in international economics. A student with a legal and political studies concentration must write a thesis in legal studies or in political economy. A student with a general economics concentration will have to discuss the potential thesis topic with her or his advisor to ensure that the chosen courses form a coherent whole and decide on a topic that fits with those courses prior to writing the thesis. The student also must orally defend his or her thesis before the economics faculty on or before the final day of classes (SLO: OC, WC).
