Graduate study in the Department of Entomology focuses on hands-on research with flexible course requirements. An association with the multidisciplinary Center for Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior provides opportunities for additional interactions and breadth. Our program provides preparation for a competitive position in academics or industry, wherever a strong foundation in basic biology is required. In addition, the University owns and operates thousands of acres of forests, grassland, and farmland which are also available as research sites. We make every effort to ensure that our students are supported.
Most students receive stipends provided by research assistantships, fellowships, or training grants.
Furthermore, faculty in the Department of Entomology are committed to assisting students to obtain employment or additional positions after graduation.
