Undergraduate Study in Entomology
The field of insect science encompasses the agricultural, biological, and environmental sciences related to insects and their interactions with humans and other organisms. Entomologists protect animals, humans, forests and crops from harmful insects. They also discover new species and study insects to better understand their beneficial role in nature, such as pollinators.
