Insect Ecology and Conservation is the study of the most abundant creatures on Earth insects and their interactions with other wildlife, humans, and the environment. Students in this major wonder how and why insects do what they do. They use this curiosity to try and figure out how to reduce negative effects of insects on humans without negatively affecting other life forms. Looking at insects’ structure, function and behavior, entomology majors spend much time in lab and in the field, which are both part of this challenging, biology-based curriculum. Outcomes: Graduates are prepared to enter the work force as pest control operators or agricultural entomologists working in the areas of integrated pest management, biological control, urban entomology, forensic entomology, or environmental educators. Students that wish to strengthen their skills pursue graduate education in entomology in fields such as insect ecology, insect conservation, or insect taxonomy. • Structure: Building on a solid foundation of the biological sciences, students specialize in all aspects of insect ecology, conservation, physiology, and taxonomy. We have a hands-on curriculum where students learn by doing. • Uniqueness: We are one of a few undergraduate insect ecology and conservation programs in the country, and the only department that couples insect and wildlife ecology and conservation providing a holistic program that provides our graduates with a more diverse set of professional skills and career options. We have a small and dedicated faculty that work closely with our students on a regular basis through undergraduate research, study abroad trips, in-class field trips, and local research opportunities.
