Entomology
http://www.ent.iastate.eduUndergraduate Study
For undergraduate curriculum in Insect Science, see College of Agriculture, Curricula .
A degree in Insect Science will provide students with a strong foundation in the biological sciences with an emphasis on insects. This degree prepares students for positions in industry, government, education, and public health. Chemical and seed companies, pest-management or consulting firms, and Horticultural nurseries employ insect scientists. State and federal agencies employ insect science graduates as consultants, extension directors, mosquito abatement agents, and research aides. A significant number of graduates pursue advanced graduate degrees in academia or professional degrees in the medical or veterinary fields.
Graduates understand the evolutionary and ecological relationships of insects with other life forms, and the impact of insects relative to human and animal health, as well as the relationships between insects and humanity’s food, fiber, structural, and aesthetic needs and expectations. They are skilled in identifying insects and related groups and understand the biology, ecology, behavior, diversity, and evolutionary relationships of the major groups of insects. Graduates understand the principles and methods available to manage beneficial and pest insect populations. They understand the application of the scientific method in problem solving and the principles of experimental design and analysis. Graduates are able to communicate research and educational materials properly and competently - orally, visually, and in writing - and are able to work effectively with others.
Graduates of the agricultural and Horticultural insect management option are skilled in identifying pests and measuring their impact on plant and animal hosts for the management of these pests. They understand the environmental, legal, and ethical issues involved in insect population management. Graduates of the insect biology option have achieved an understanding of the biochemical and physiological processes governing insect metabolism, growth, and form. They understand the evolutionary and ecological significance of insects. Graduates of this option often enter graduate or professional schools.
Minor - Insect Science
The department offers a minor in Insect Science that may be earned by completing ENT 370 Insect Biology and 12 credits in courses selected from an approved list supplied by the department.
Minor - Emerging Global Diseases
Entomology administers the Emerging Global Diseases minor (see http://www.ent.iastate.edu/egd ). Core courses address the biology of emerging disease agents (e.g., protozoa, fungi, microbes, and viruses), the clinical manifestations and epidemiology of emerging diseases, and the impact of those diseases on human interactions and socioeconomics. One course must be taken from each of three core areas:
| Pathogens and Disease | arr † | |
| Medical Microbiology | ||
| Sociology and Economics | ||
| Social Change in Developing Countries | ||
| Population and Society | ||
| World Food Issues: Past and Present | ||
| Arthropod-borne Diseases | ||
| Insects and Our Health | ||
| Medical Entomology | ||
| † Arranged with instructor. | ||
The remainder of the credits (for a total of 15) may be selected from any of the above-listed courses not selected, and from other appropriate courses as approved by Emerging Global Diseases program advisers.
Graduate Study
The department offers work for the master of science and doctor of philosophy degrees with a major in entomology. Studies at the Ecosystem, Organismal, and Subcellar levels occur in the following areas: aquatic entomology, biological control, chemical ecology, ecology, host plant resistance, insecticide toxicology, medical/veterinary entomology, pathology, pest management, physiology, population genetics, or systematics.
Graduates have a broad understanding of entomology and related disciplines, and an in-depth command of their area of concentration. They are able to communicate effectively with scientific colleagues and the general public in both formal and informal settings. Graduates are able to address complex problems facing entomology or toxicology professionals, taking into account related ethical, social, legal, economic, and environmental issues. They are skilled in research methods, data analyses, and interpretation of results. They also are skilled in working effectively with their colleagues, and writing concise and persuasive grant proposals. They have an understanding of and can critically evaluate current entomological literature.
Prerequisite to the entomology major and to minor graduate work in the department is completion of at least two years of zoological courses, for part of which credit in other closely allied biological sciences may be substituted. Specific course requirements for advanced degrees depend partly upon previous training and experience in the major field of specialization.
Any student receiving the M.S. in entomology shall have at least one course in insect physiology, one course in insect systematics, two courses of ENT 590 Special Topics (selected from topics A through D, F through I, M and N, inclusive), and at least 1 credit of ENT 600 Seminar.
Any student receiving the Ph.D. in entomology shall have at least one course in insect physiology, one course in insect systematics, four additional courses of ENT 590 Special Topics (selected from topics A through D and F through I, M through N inclusive), and at least 1 credit of ENT 600 Seminar. At least one 590 must be taken from each of these subgroups: Population (C, D, N); Organismal (A, B, F, M); and Suborganismal (G, H, I).
In addition, Ph.D. students majoring either in Entomology or Toxicology shall have two semesters of teaching experience, taken as ENT 590K Teaching Experience. both semesters or ENT 590K Teaching Experience. one semester and ENT 590L Extension Internship. the other semester.
A student can receive a Ph.D. minor in Entomology by taking 3 Entomology courses (500 level and above) for a total of 9 credits to be determined by the student’s POS committee and approved by the Entomology Director of Graduate Education.
