Senior Comprehensive Research Topics

My comprehensive project “helped me make up my mind on a future career path. I now fully intend to become a large scale restaurant developer and I will begin to take the steps to follow that path,” Ed Flores ’96

All students graduating in economics either do a thesis (spread out over two semesters) or senior comprehensives. The comprehensives are applied research projects aimed at allowing students to demonstrate that they are able to engage in open ended research by choosing a topic, planning its execution, collecting the data, analyzing the material with the appropriate economic tools and coming to some conclusion about the problem they posed. Students often choose topics based on career interests. These projects are overwhelmingly microeconomic in nature.
