What prizes does the economics department award?

The department awards three prizes. The Parker prize is awarded to the best student that will be continuing his or her studies in an economics Ph.D. program. If you would like to be considered for this prize, then you should contact the director of undergraduate studies in the spring semester of your senior year. The two Romine prizes are awarded for the best paper in a senior seminar and the best senior thesis. If you would like to be considered for these prizes, then you should speak with your faculty supervisor (or seminar instructor) before the end of the semester. This is especially critical in the spring semester, since the prizes are determined two weeks before the end of the semester. Hence, you may need to complete your paper earlier than the deadline imposed by the instructor in order to be considered for the prize.
