As the most prevalent land-dwelling creatures, insects provide essential ecological functions while also posing challenges as carriers of disease and destroyers of crops. Graduate studies in Entomology equip students with skills for varied scientific careers addressing practical challenges.
The Entomology Department provides comprehensive coursework and research opportunities culminating in a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree. This field represents a crucial branch of biology, given that insects damage about a third of our food supply while also transmitting numerous pathogens responsible for widespread parasitic illnesses. Conversely, insects pollinate over 60% of flowering plant species, enhance soil quality, and play fundamental roles in land and freshwater ecological systems.

Qualification Requirements
A background in entomology is not required for students to enter the graduate program. In fact, we encourage applicants with a B.S. or M.S. in any area of the physical and biological sciences to apply. Students with a B.S. degree are normally admitted at the M.S. level but may petition to bypass this degree and work towards the Ph.D. after meeting specific departmental requirements. Students without previous courses in genetics and biochemistry will be required to make up these deficiencies after entering the program. Courses in animal physiology or cell and molecular biology can be substitutes.
