• Ranked the top entomological program in the country by The Chronicle of Higher Education, UC Davis provides undergraduates with access to respected instructors, researchers and facilities. UC Davis entomology graduates often go on to advanced study in the field. Other graduates have entered careers in agricultural production, education and university research or work with federal or state agencies.
  • After completing a series of foundation courses in natural sciences and mathematics, students will enroll in basic courses in insect biology, including hands-on work in collection and identification. Studnets may tailor their major to their interests by choosing courses in areas such as arthropod pest management, apiculture (bee biology and productivity), economic entomology or insect ecology. Electives such as forensic entomology (the use of arthropod biological evidence in civil and criminal law) and internships in government and business organizations round out your study.
