| To expand a bit on Unalove's answer for question number two, the Econ department intentionally tries to make the honors option pretty difficult to pursue. It's a huge major, and they don't want people who aren't seriously considering a future in graduate-level economics taking up resources. In general, getting honors means that you will have to do some independent research involving LOTS of math. Not surprisingly, only a handful of people each year go for it. |
