2004-05 Undergraduate Catalog
Entomology and nematology are biological sciences dealing with insects, mites, ticks, spiders and nematodes. The Department of Entomology and Nematology offers the major and participates in the plant protection specialization of the plant sciences major offered in conjunction with the departments of Agronomy and Plant Pathology.
There are five specializations: basic science/preprofessional, plant protection, biology education, ecotourism and urban pest management. The department also offers a combined-degree program. Interested students should contact the undergraduate coordinator.
A grade of C or better is required for all courses in the major.
Preprofessional 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 Preprofessional
This option provides preparation for programs in medicine, dentistry, optometry, veterinary, chiropractic, osteopathy and podiatry. Students should refer to the preprofessional information in the colleges admission section and they should contact the Office of Health and Legal Professions Advising in the Academic Advising Center.
An off-campus degree program is available through the Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center.

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 find employment in agribusiness or government agencies concerned with pest management, crop production and environmental protection. The specialization is excellent preparation for graduate study.
