I'm not talking about minimum-wage jobs, but professional, career track jobs in Agricultural Biology with private industry, government, and research institutions. Our faculty's reward is helping you to succeed, not only academically, but personally as well. Students such as yourself bring cultural richness and diversity to our college that provides us with insight into New Mexico's past, present, and future. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me, or any other member of the faculty, through the Department of Entomology, Plant Pathology, and Weed Science. One component of the Agricultural Biology major is entomology.
Insects are the largest group of animals on our planet.
Many provide valuable services and products such as pollinating our crops, helping to control unwanted pests, and producing honey. Entomologists safeguard animal and human health and ensure effective production of food by practicing insect management. Managing insect pests requires an in-depth knowledge of the pest and how it interacts with other living things in the environment. As a student, you will learn the life histories, physiology, behavior, ecology and management of this exciting group of animals. Entomologists of today are actually applied ecologists.
