The Entomology graduate program at Montana State University offers a Master of Science degree, combining structured coursework with independent research under faculty guidance. Participants will engage in supplemental academic and professional development activities beyond their core studies, such as teaching assignments, outreach initiatives, international programs, and presenting at conferences. Students are advised to actively pursue these enriching opportunities. With approval from academic advisors, candidates can tailor their curriculum to align with personal interests and professional aspirations.
MSU's entomology faculty pursue diverse research areas spanning behavioral ecology, biodiversity, biological pest control, chemical ecology, and molecular biology. Their work addresses significant agricultural pests prevalent in western regions, such as alfalfa weevils, aphids, and wheat-stem sawflies, while also studying beneficial species like pollinators and biocontrol organisms. The department maintains a balanced focus between applied solutions and fundamental scientific inquiry across all research domains.
