Economics Proseminar

(1 Credit Hour) · Undergraduate

This optional one credit hour professional seminar (prosem) is designed to provide students with an overview of opportunities available to Economics and International Economics majors both inside and outside the classroom. Students will receive guidance on how to navigate course, extracurricular, internship, and vocational decisions, with an emphasis on the specific benefits of majoring in economics and the resources provided by the economics department (e.g., student clubs, affiliated research labs, alumni mentoring). This will be accomplished through a mixture of weekly short lectures, guest speakers, and panel discussions. Particular attention will be paid to not wasting students’ time with busy work.
