Please note: Entomology is not an official degree program.  However, we will work with each student toward building a plan of study that allows them to fully explore this area.

Entomology is the scientific study of insects, spanning the breadth of biology from molecules to ecosystems. If you are seeking a career in the life sciences that will offer intellectual challenges, diverse opportunities, and the satisfaction of contributing to human well being, then you should consider studying Entomology. Students work closely with their advisor to develop a curriculum best suited to their academic interests and career goals.

No other animal group comes close to matching insects in terms of diversity and impact on humans. Beneficial insects pollinate our crops, form critical links in ecological food chains, and help suppress populations of pest species.

Harmful insects damage crops, forests, livestock, and other commodities, and some spread serious human diseases. Entomology is unique among the biological sciences in offering numerous career opportunities in both basic and applied fields.

Entomology Opportunities

Within the Department of Entomology, there are several opportunities available to give you hands-on experience:

• Internships
