Entomology
Entomology is the field of biological science concerned with the study of insects and their relatives in relation to humans, other animals, plants and the environment. Entomologists play critical roles in securing food, fuel and fiber; protecting human health; and supporting natural resources and biodiversity. Students interested in pest management, conservation, ecology, private industry and government-related careers will benefit from a major or minor degree in entomology.
