Overview
Insect Studies was the first entomology course offered at Louisiana State University in 1886. The Department of Horticulture and Entomology subsequently was established in 1889. The entomology program was moved into the Department of Zoology and Entomology in 1893. At that time the curriculum included Insect Anatomy, Household Insects, Disease Vectors, Sugarcane Insects, Apiculture, Forest Entomology, Photography, Morphology and Taxonomy, and Insect Physiology. In 1949 the Department of Zoology, Physiology and Entomology was formed in the College of Arts and Sciences. Acarology was added to the curriculum.
