The Department of Entomology provides graduate programs for earning Doctoral and Master of Science degrees. Students can explore both fundamental and practical aspects of entomological science through the curriculum. The department supports advanced studies in key entomology fields such as apiculture, insect behavior, integrated biological control, sustainable pest management, ecology, forest entomology, insect-plant relationships, medical and veterinary entomology, population genetics, physiology, systematics, biodiversity, and environmental toxicology. Students may receive guidance from departmental faculty, adjunct professors, or affiliate faculty members. Faculty are located both on campus and at Research and Extension Centers across the state, allowing students to engage with advisors and mentors both on-site and remotely—an advantage not commonly found in other programs. The department collaborates closely with the USDA ARS laboratory in Yakima, Washington. Those whose primary advisors work at Research and Extension Centers (Wenatchee, Prosser, Puyallup, Mt. Vernon, or USDA Wapato) usually spend at least two semesters in Pullman before moving to their research center, completing remaining coursework through live videoconferencing. Every student's academic plan is tailored to their research focus, prior education, and consultation with their major advisor.
