Senior Spotlight: Eva-Marie Quinones
“I really appreciated the economics program and the research opportunities for undergraduates because I think that’s something a lot of other smaller liberal arts colleges don’t necessarily have. I wanted a small college but the same opportunities you would find at a large school, and Bard had both.”
Senior Project Highlights
Senior Project
All Bard students are required to complete a yearlong Senior Project. At the end of the project, students defend their thesis at a board with three faculty members. Complete versions of Economics Senior Projects available at the library’s Digital Commons linked below.
