Entomology and nematology are biological sciences dealing with insects, mites, ticks, spiders and nematodes. The Department of Entomology and Nematology offers this major and participates in the plant protection specialization of the plant sciences major offered in conjunction with the Department of Agronomy and the Department of Plant Pathology. The five specializations are basic science/pre-professional, plant protection, biology education, ecotourism, and urban pest management. The department also offers a combined-degree program. Interested students should contact the undergraduate adviser. A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the major.
Pre-Professional and Basic Sciences
This specialization offers a strong background in the basic sciences. A minimum 2.5 GPA is required in science and math courses. There are two options.
|
Entomology - Pre-professional |
This option provides pre-professional preparation for programs in medicine, dentistry, optometry, veterinary, chiropractic, osteopathy and podiatry. Students should refer to the Information for Pre-professional Students section in the Admissions section of this catalog. The Office of Health and Legal Professions Advising in the Academic Advising Center is the central source of information for pre-professional programs.
An off-campus degree program in entomology and nematology is available through the Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center.

*Pre-vet majors should include appropriate animal science requirements as electives.
**Six hours must have an international or diversity focus.
|
Plant Protection |
Students will receive instruction in the pest science areas of entomology, nematology, plant pathology and weed science. Emphasis is placed on understanding the crop/plant ecosystem and the need for managing pests. The curriculum focuses on the theory and application of biological, chemical and integrated management programs for quality environments.
Students who complete the requirements for the specialization find employment in agribusiness or government agencies concerned with pest management, crop production and environmental protection. The specialization is excellent preparation for graduate study.
