What is... Entomology and Wildlife Ecology?
Undergraduate Programs

Entomology

Entomology is the study of insects, the most abundant wildlife on Earth, 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 to figure out how to reduce negative effects of insects on humans without negatively affecting other life forms. Looking at insects' structures, functions and behavior, entomology majors spend much time in lab and in the field, which are both part of this challenging biology-based curriculum.


Wildlife Conservation

Students in this major are curious about how wild things work...and the role they play in our world. From insects to birds, reptiles to mammals, algae to oaks, the Wildlife Conservation major examines all non-domesticated living things and the challenges they face sharing the planet with humans. Conserving biodiversity is the underlying theme of our program, with its unique blend of lectures, labs and field trips.
