Students who wish to specialize in insect biochemistry, insect physiology, molecular entomology, neuroscience, or toxicology may substitute additional courses in physical, organic, and biological chemistry, toxicology, and pharmacology for courses in life sciences. Credit from these courses does not count toward the unit requirement for the M.S. degree. The department requires GRE General Test scores (verbal, quantitative, and analytical).
