The Senior Exercise

The Senior Exercise involves a systematic effort to understand social behavior using economic principles. The exercise allows majors to gain an appreciation of the integrity of economics as a discipline. Majors must answer two essay questions. Students typically sit for the closed-book exam during the spring semester. Honors majors must answer an additional essay question. An honors oral examination is conducted by an outside examiner.
