Overview

Entomology majors gain a vast knowledge of all aspects of the insect world. First and foremost, they study the insects themselves鈥攖he many different types of them, their differences and similarities, and how we classify them into major groups鈥攁 practice known as taxonomy. You鈥檒l study the evolution of insects, and see how they鈥檝e been affected by changes in the environment and human society. You鈥檒l learn the ways in which insects are both harmful and helpful to our health, and the many methods available to control them.


The scope of your studies will vary widely. For instance, you鈥檒l learn about the biological aspects of insects, such as their anatomy, biochemical processes, and growth. You鈥檒l learn about various problems that insects present to agriculture and urban life, and how we can best manage insects in these realms. You鈥檒l study relatives of insects such as spiders, ticks, and mites. And you鈥檒l gain an understanding of environmental concerns, and how insects, the environment, and humans are connected. (Bonus: you鈥檒l understand Elton John鈥檚 鈥淐ircle of Life鈥 at a much deeper level as an Entomology major.)


An Entomology major, like any other scientific field, requires a great deal of research and laboratory work. Field work is also an integral part of many programs. This is an exciting way to get hands-on experience and see how your studies relate to the real world.
