The Department of Entomology offers a wide range of courses and research opportunities in an Undergraduate Program and Graduate Program. The Graduate Program includes the Masters and Doctorate degrees and the professional Master of Plant Protection and Pest Management (MPPPM) degree, which is a professional non-thesis degree requiring graduate level coursework and an internship with an IPM-oriented organization.

Our goal is to support and encourage students who are preparing for careers as scientists in federal, state, or industrial laboratories or in academic institutions, by providing them with as broad a background as possible in the many facets of insect biology. Our programs encompass all levels of biological organization from the molecular level to ecosystems. In addition to training in modern methodologies of classical entomology, the Department has special emphasis areas in evolutionary biology, genomics, vector biology, biotechnology, and integrated pest management.

We take great pride in the progress and development of our students and the high quality of their research and publications. If you are a prospective student, we encourage you to read about our Undergraduate or Graduate Program or visit our Department to meet with the faculty and students, so that you can judge the Department and its excellent facilities for yourself.
