Spangler The Department of Entomology provides instruction to students planning careers in entomology and for those specializing in related fields including plant and animal protection. Career opportunities in entomology include teaching, research and technical positions with colleges and universities, experiment stations, governmental agencies, military services, private and industrial organizations. The department administers an undergraduate minor in entomology and advanced degrees, the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy with a major in entomology. For graduate admission and degree requirements, consult the Graduate Catalog. The undergraduate minor: The department offers students the opportunity to complete an undergraduate minor in entomology. The minor requires at least 20 units of credit to be selected from course offerings in entomology. Specific course requirements include 201; three courses chosen from 404, 407, 411, 416, 444; and six or more credits selected from the upper-division courses offered by the department. For further details, consult with a faculty advisor in the department. Students will be expected to have completed prerequisites and/or supporting courses that may be required by the courses in the minor. 151.
