Omicron Delta Epsilon is the international honor society in economics. It is open to all students, not just economics majors. The objectives of Omicron Delta Epsilon are the recognition of scholastic attainment, the honoring of outstanding achievements in economics, and the establishment of closer ties between students and faculty. The Tau Chapter at the University of Dayton was founded in 1973. Since that time we have inducted many outstanding students. To qualify for admission, you must have completed 12 hours of economics and have at least a 3.25 in both your overall grade point average and your grade point average in economics courses. Interested students should contact Dr. John Rapp, ext 92258, MH811, John.Rapp@notes.udayton.edu.
