A major in entomology will provide students with a strong scientific background as well as a greater understanding of the importance of insects as beneficial organisms as well as their detrimental impacts to humans as pests. Students in the entomology program will also learn practical skills like pest management, experimental design, and applications of molecular biology.
Entomology is a small field that can prepare students for a career in conservation, pest management, apiculture in a range of private, academic, and governmental institutions. Entomology can be elected as a double major within the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS) or the School of Arts and Sciences (SAS).
