Omicron Delta Epsilon

Iowa State is the Gamma Chapter of ODE, an international honor society for economics.

Objectives of the society are:
  • the recognition of scholastic attainment and the honoring of outstanding achievements in economics
  • the establishment of closer ties between students and faculty in economics within colleges and universities, and among colleges and universities
  • the publication of its official journal, The American Economist
  • the sponsoring of panels at professional meetings as well as the Irving Fisher and Frank W. Taussig competitions
    •
    Minimum admission requirements for undergraduates are:
  • completion of 12 semester hours of economics courses
  • attainment of at least a “B” average in economics courses and an overall “B” average in all classes
    •

    Students do not have to be economics majors, but must have a genuine interest in economics in addition to meeting the requirements.

    Anyone interested in joining Omicron Delta Epsilon should stop by the Economics Office or talk to Brent Kreider.
