Adjunct Professor of Entomology Graduate study in the Entomology program seeks to develop students to assume leadership roles in science upon graduation. Students are encouraged to write research proposals, give professional presentations, and publish research articles.
Emphasis is placed upon the professional development of the student.
Part of the student's training is participation in professional development activities. Students are able to specialize in the research program areas of insect-plant interactions, environmental and developmental regulation of genes, artificial intelligence and modeling, population biology, ecology and biodiversity, integrated pest management, and environmental quality and application technology. Additional specialization is available to students performing research with insects in the intercollege degree programs in genetics, ecology, and plant physiology. For admission a student should have a strong background in biological sciences. Courses in chemistry through organic, physics, mathematics through calculus, statistics, and computer application are recommended.
