The Entomology Faculty Page The entomology program at the University of Wyoming originates in the Department of Renewable Resources. There are opportunities to work with other departments such as zoology, water resources, botany, and geography. The undergraduate program is designed to provide foundations in science courses and in scientific thought processes. The department is equipped with laboratories, insect cultures, an insect museum, scientific equipment, greenhouses, and research farms and has research plots in all regions of Wyoming.
Opportunities exist for all students to participate in ongoing research.
Faculty research includes veterinary entomology, biocontrol of weeds, systematics, crop protection, grasshopper biology and control, aquatic insets, and insect ecology in Yellowstone National Park. These projects include both laboratory and field research. The Department of Renewable Resources currently offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in entomology. A B.S. in Agroecology with an Entomology Option and minors in Insect Biology is are also available.
