What’s special about this program?

We are the only university in the nation that offers an undergraduate major in Insect Ecology and Conservation. Our unique emphasis on ecology and conservation sets us apart from other traditional, stand-alone programs across the country and allows you to receive a more holistic training in the natural sciences. We will provide you with a distinctive curriculum that is tailored to your interests. Moreover, the emphasis of our program is the interface between insects and other living organisms and systems. Your exploration will start in the classroom and quickly move into our indoor and outdoor laboratories. We have a dedicated faculty that will work very closely with you through undergraduate research, in-class field opportunities and optional study abroad trips to Costa Rica, Tanzania, Southeast Asia and Peru, to name a few.
