About the Program
Insect Biology Majors study insects and related organisms. The program emphasizes “hands on learning” with opportunities for faculty mentored undergraduate research, field and laboratory experiences and study abroad options. Insect biologists apply knowledge and modern technology to address grand challenges including protection of human and animal health, food, and property, and natural environments. Insect biologists work as scientists, educators, technicians, consultants, and specialists in urban, agricultural, and natural environments to prevent the spread of disease, feed the world, promote biodiversity, protect the environment, solve crimes, strengthen biosecurity, and teach science. Careers are as diverse as the insects we study.
