- 理学学士
Did you know that insects are the most diverse group of animals on earth? Insects offer unique opportunities to study biological systems and are model experimental animals. Many insects are either pests or beneficial species that have great importance to the economy, environment or public health. 学生 in the entomology major will learn about environmentally sound methods of controlling domestic and agricultural pests. They will study ways to increase the productivity of economically useful insects such as honeybees and learn about ways to monitor the health of insect populations throughout the world.
主要的需求
After completing a series of foundation courses in natural sciences and mathematics, you will enroll in basic courses in insect biology, including hands-on work in collection and identification. You may tailor your major to your interests by choosing courses in areas such as arthropod pest management, apiculture (bee biology and productivity), economic entomology or insect ecology. Electives such as forensic entomology (the use of arthropod biological evidence in civil and criminal law) and internships in government and business organizations round out your study.
