BIOLOGY EDUCATION PROGRAM
 Students who plan to teach biology in sec-
ondary education programs may major in
botany, and should see the undergraduate coor-
dinator of botany.
Honors: To be eligible for honors in botany, a
student must have a minimum grade point
average of 3.5 in 3-4000 level courses. Students
working for high or highest honors in botany
from the College of Agriculture must have a
minimum grade point average of 3.75 and 3.85,
respectively, and must enroll in BOT 4905 for
one or two semesters, respectively, and produce
a thesis based upon independent research.
Students must carry out the research under the
direction of a botany faculty members) and
prepare a thesis based on the research, which is
to be submitted to and approved by the studen-
t's research adviser and the dean's office, 2002
McCarty. Approval to undertake honors work
must be secured from the undergraduate coor-
dinator and the dean's office prior to the first
registration for BOT 4905.

Dairy Science (See Animal Sciences)
 Students desiring to prepare for employ-
 ment in the dairy industry should major in ani-
 mal sciences with the dairy option of the indus-
 try specialization. For efficient completion of
 required courses and for selection of appropri-
 ate electives, students must consult an adviser
 in the Department of Dairy and Poultry
 Sciences.

 Entomology and Nematology
 Entomology and nematology are biological
 sciences dealing with insects, mites, ticks, spi-
 ders and nematodes. The Department of
 Entomology and Nematology offers a major in
 entomology and nematology and participates in
 the plant protection specialization of the plant
 sciences major offered in conjunction with the
 Department of Agronomy and the Department
 of Plant Pathology. The three specializations
 are basic science/preprofessional, biology edu-
 cation and urban pest management.
 Students desiring to enter the department
 should contact the undergraduate adviser.

 PREPROFESSIONAL AND BASIC SCIENCES
 SPECIALIZATION
 This specialization is designed for students
 who desire a strong background in the basic sci-
 ences. A minimum 2.5 GPA is required in sci-
 ence and math courses. There are two options.
