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.
