Requirements for the Entomology Minor

Requirements for a Minor in Entomology are completion with a grade of C- or better of at least three courses, totaling 10 – 13 credits, including: ENTOM 2120 (Insect Biology, 4 credits) and two elective courses from the following two groups. One of the elective courses must have a laboratory (*). Any undergraduate student in CALS is eligible to enroll in the Minor except students majoring in Biological Sciences.
