The Minor in Entomology
Entomology is the biological science dealing with insects and allied arthropods, the most abundant and varied group of animals on earth. Insects directly or indirectly affect our health and well-being, as well as our crops, livestock, and property. The food production, distribution, and storage aspects of the nation's agriculture depend upon entomologists to manage insect pests. Students majoring in various disciplines of the biological sciences may wish to develop entomological strengths useful to their majors. To minor in entomology, a student must take PLSOILIN 326 Insect Biology (3 credits) and Entomology courses offered through the Department of Plant Soil and Insect Sciences for a minimum total of 15 credits (maximum of 3 credits from the optional list).
