The Department of Finance and Economics wishes to recognize the December 2025 Economics Honors Concentration students. Three students earned this distinction: Kasey Boring (dual degrees: BA economics/honors and BS mathematics with a minor in applied statistics); Gabriel Kengersky (BS finance with a double major in economics/honors and a minor in applied statistics); and Kaden Ring (BS finance with a double major in economics/honors and a minor in applied statistics).

Reflecting on the value added of this program, Ring said, “The Economics honors program’s mathematical and quantitative focus within econometrics coursework enhanced my data and research skills, further helping me stand out for internships and various job opportunities upon graduation.”
Economics majors can choose to add the Economics Honors Concentration to their degree plan at any point during their undergraduate program. In order to complete the Economics Honors Concentration, students must complete a designated set of four classes, including Probability and Statistics, Introduction to Econometrics, Advanced Econometrics, and one of several elective advanced classes in a complementary field. Students also must earn a minimum 3.25 overall GPA and a minimum 3.25 GPA within the major. Students qualifying for the Economics/Honors distinction receive an honors medallion featuring Adam Smith, which was crafted by Wendell August Forge when the program was initiated in 2005.
Congratulations to our economics/honors graduates!
