The <strong>Graduate</strong> School Departments and Course Descriptions<br />

<strong>the</strong> Advisory Committee and a recommendation made on continued status as a<br />

graduate student. For details about this process, please see <strong>the</strong> <strong>Graduate</strong> Student<br />

Handbook on <strong>the</strong> departmental Web site.<br />

Candidacy Examination: Before completion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fourth semester, <strong>the</strong><br />

student will take written candidacy examinations as specified by <strong>the</strong> Advisory<br />

Committee and a comprehensive oral examination covering entomology and<br />

supporting areas. These examinations must be successfully completed at least one<br />

academic year before <strong>the</strong> degree is conferred.<br />

Comprehensive Examination: A comprehensive oral examination covering<br />

coursework and defense <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dissertation research is required. The examination<br />

is generally taken during <strong>the</strong> student’s final semester.<br />

Entomology (ENTO)<br />

ENTO4013 Insect Behavior and Chemical Ecology (Even years, Sp) Basic concepts in insect<br />

senses and patterns <strong>of</strong> behavioral responses to various environmental stimuli. Previous knowledge<br />

<strong>of</strong> basic entomology is helpful, but not required. Lecture 2 hours, laboratory/discussion 2<br />

hours per week. Corequisite: Lab component (Same as BIOL 4013)<br />

ENTO4024 Insect Diversity and Taxonomy (Even years, Fa) Principles and practices <strong>of</strong> insect<br />

classification and identification with emphasis on adult insects. Corequisite: Lab component.<br />

Prerequisite: ENTO 3013. (Same as BIOL 4024)<br />

ENTO4043 Apiculture (Odd years, Sp) Review <strong>of</strong> social behavior <strong>of</strong> insects and its exemplification<br />

in Honeybees. Previous knowledge <strong>of</strong> basic entomology is helpful but not required.<br />

Lecture 2 hours, laboratory 2 hours per week. Corequisite: Lab component.<br />

ENTO4053 Insect Ecology (Even years, Fa) To develop understanding <strong>of</strong> important ecological<br />

concepts through study <strong>of</strong> dynamic relationships among insects and <strong>the</strong>ir environment. To<br />

become familiar with <strong>the</strong> literature <strong>of</strong> insect ecology, and interpretation and critique <strong>of</strong> ecological<br />

research. Previous knowledge <strong>of</strong> basic entomology and/or ecology will be assumed. Corequisite:<br />

Lab component. (Same as BIOL 4053)<br />

ENTO410V Special Topics (Irregular) (1-3) Special Topics course available to both undergraduate<br />

and graduate students, to address emerging issues and timely topics. This would supplement<br />
