The currently very high popularity of the Economics BA was at full display during the graduation ceremonies last weekend in Storrs. No less than 213 majors from our department obtained their sheepskin. In addition, 6 MA and 3 PhD students graduated. This class may be one of the largest ever. But even if this is a record, it will not last, as there will not be December commencements anymore. With currently about 800 declared majors in Economics, the program ranks third at UConn and is bound to produce even larger graduating classes.
