Entomology
is the scientific study of insects, spanning the breadth of biology from
molecules to ecosystems. If you are seeking a career in the life sciences
that will offer intellectual challenges, diverse opportunities, and the satisfaction
of contributing to human well being, then you should consider studying Entomology.
No other animal group comes close to matching insects in terms of diversity and impact on humans. Beneficial insects pollinate our crops, form critical links in ecological food chains, and help suppress populations of pest species.
Harmful insects damage crops, forests, livestock, and other commodities, and some spread serious human diseases. Entomology is unique among the biological sciences in offering numerous career opportunities in both basic and applied fields.
With more than a million different kinds of insects, the excitement of discovery and learning never ends!
