independent studies
For independent studies in international trade, international finance, or development economics, or independent research under the academic internship program, students should have successfully completed equivalent classes (e.g. Econ 101, Econ 103, Econ 161). Students with this background may propose a research paper idea and an independent-studies plan for a quarter. Research papers must contain substantive academic content with a strong analytical focus at least at the level of, and typically beyond, equivalent classes.
