Omicron Delta Epsilon
Omicron Delta Epsilon (ODE) is the JMU chapter of the
International Honor Society in Economics. The purposes of the organization
are to promote excellence in the field of economics and to unite students
who have a specific interest in economics. Any student meeting the
following requirements may be a member of ODE:
1. Junior standing (60 or more credit hours)
2. An overall gradepoint average of 3.0 or better
3. A gradepoint average of at least 3.00 in all economics classes
attempted, with a minimum of 12 credit hours completed.
There are no exceptions to these requirements and there is no "rounding
up" of gradepoint averages.
(The Madison Economics Club is a separate
organization that sponsors lectures, workshops, and travel events of
interest to students and faculty. It is open to all interested students.)
Students are invited to apply
for ODE twice a year, during two-week periods in January and September.
E-mail inviting applications is sent to economics majors and minors, as
well as to International Business and Finance majors. You do not have to
have any particular major to join ODE as long as you meet all the
requirements.
