The minor in Entomology is designed for students who would like to develop a basic understanding of entomology and is particularly useful for students of agriculture, horticulture, forestry, forensics, anthropology, wildlife ecology, or premedical studies.
Students in majors other than Biology, Botany, and Zoology must complete a minimum of 12 credits for their minor with courses that are not otherwise used to fulfill a requirement for their major, another minor, or a concentration.
For a Biology, Botany, or Zoology major, a total of 39 credits from the BIO areas are necessary to fill the requirements of both the major and the Entomology minor, and must include the labs, capstone, and plant and animal requirements of the major as well as the specific requirements of the Entomology minor. Overlap for these requirements is acceptable as long as the BIO area credit total is at least 39.
Students will need to take either BIO 100 or PSE 100 or SFR 101 as a prerequisite for the entomology minor.
