Bachelor of Science - Biology - Entomology

Insects and other related arthropods are the dominant consumers in all terrestrial ecosystems. There are more kinds of insects than all the other species of animals and plants combined. In a practical sense, insects compete at all levels with humans in the production, processing, and use of food and fiber resources and constitute a major threat to human health in much of the world. A detailed understanding of insect biology is a prerequisite to developing rational, effective, and sustainable control measures. Similarly, an understanding of the ecological ramifications of such control measures, particularly pesticide use, is a legal and ethical requirement. Supplemental Pre-Professional tracks are available for students interested in pursuing further professional education. If there is interest in one of these tracks in addition to the degree, please let the recruiter know. The options are: • Pre-Dentistry • Pre-Law • Pre-Medicine • Pre-Nutrition & Exercise Physiology • Pre-Occupational Therapy • Pre-Optometry • Pre-Pharmacy • Pre-Physical Therapy • Pre-Physician Assistant • Pre-Speech & Hearing Sciences
