Students in the Economics M.S. program may elect to write an M.S. thesis. The thesis is worth six hours of credit toward the M.S. degree, and is particularly encouraged for those who may be considering the Ph.D. program.

Students desiring to write a thesis should first select an economics faculty member as a thesis advisor. Once the thesis advisor has approved the general subject area in which the student proposes to write the thesis, the student will register for Economics 490 (Thesis). Economics 490 will normally be taken for two semesters, three credits per semester.
