Research

A student presenter, Harrison Waterbury, in a navy blazer and plaid shirt, points to his poster on "Margins that Move: The Impact of Electoral Outcome on Migration Patterns in the United States" while explaining it to two listeners.
Students have the opportunity to present their research at the senior thesis symposium.

The economics department offers you a variety of opportunities to get involved in both independent and faculty-led research. You can write an independent senior thesis, participate in research fellowships, or work for a faculty member as a research assistant. Funding is also available to support your research. We strongly encourage students interested in pursuing graduate study in economics to participate in research as undergraduates.
