Meeting the Writing Requirement

One economics writing course is required for all economics concentrators on the basic track, and two  for those pursuing the Advanced Course Track (see Requirements).  Courses that meet the writing requirement generally have a research paper due at the end of the term.  Some courses have an optional final paper which can meet the writing requirement.  In such cases, students must have the professor sign the optional writing form. Return it to Emily Neill. Students may not take a writing requirement course Pass/Fail.

Note for thesis writers: Thesis track concentrators who drop the thesis mid-year and divide 985 with credit may switch to the Advance Course Track and meet the second writing requirement with the first term of 985.
