Our Degrees

Feeding the growing global population is a perpetual challenge. Some insects, other arthropods and nematodes can devastate crops, while others are valuable natural enemies of these pests.

Students and faculty in our group use chemistry to solve important societal problems.

Students in this program study the production, distribution, and consumption of food, fiber, and energy in both developed and less-developed countries.

The Department of Animal Science offers five minor programs open to students majoring in other disciplines who wish to complement their study programs.

The Animal Behavior Graduate Group is targeted toward students who are interested in understanding the adaptive and evolutionary bases of animal behavior.

Animal biology encompasses the discipline-based studies of domesticated and wild animals and animal management systems.

The Applied Mathematics Graduate Group is an interdisciplinary group of over 90 faculty and is recognized for the mathematical rigor of its programs and its dynamic research atmosphere.

The minor in atmospheric science provides a broad treatment of weather and climate, with the option to focus on such topics as climate change, meteorological instrumentation and satellite remo

Atmospheric science is the study of the physics, chemistry, and dynamics of the atmosphere and its interrelationship with the hydrosphere and the biosphere.

The flexibility of the program and the close personal interaction between students, faculty and specialists in the field give students a large role in selecting and designing their own course
