Independent Study and Internships
Independent study projects offer tutorial study for intermediate and advanced students on special topics not offered elsewhere in the curriculum. Generally, interested students first choose a research topic of interest to them, and then identify an economics faculty member who agrees to supervise the research project. The student and the faculty member together determine what work will be required, the number of credits to be received, and the grading option.
The Department of Economics does not sponsor internships. Students interested in taking an internship are encouraged to consult with the Fleishman Center for Career and Professional Development to discuss securing such a position.
