Graduate students at the Center for Vector Biology benefit from the extraordinary resources of a diverse research institution. Rutgers faculty include MacArthur "genius" Fellows, National Medal of Science and National Medal of Technology recipients, Fulbright Scholars, Guggenheim Fellows, members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and winners of many other prestigious awards and grants. In the 1940's Selman Waksman received the Nobel Prize for his important contributions to medicine. Robert Trivers, professor of anthropology and biological sciences, will receive the 2007 Crafoord Prize in biosciences. The library system ranks among the top university research libraries in the nation.

Graduate students fulfill general education requirements, choose among a wide variety of elective courses, and pursue departmental concentrations and interdisciplinary certificate programs. Students at the Center for Vector Biology (CVB) graduate with either the Masters in Public Health, M.S. in Entomology, or Ph.D. in Entomology. These programs offer advanced study, and unique opportunities to explore basic and/or applied aspects of vector biology.

After leaving CVB you will be prepared for careers in entomology, public health, research, teaching, and professional practice. Many entomology alumni currently hold faculty positions at other research universities, or work in mosquito control districts throughout the country.
