Department of Entomology
As the dominant terrestrial fauna, insects perform key ecosystem services but also threaten our interests as medical and agricultural pests. Graduate training in Entomology prepares students for diverse science careers solving real-world problems
The Department of Entomology offers a wide range of courses and research programs leading to the Master of Science (MS) degree. Entomology is a vitally important segment of biology, since insects not only destroy nearly one-third of the food we produce but also serve as vectors for many pathogens that cause the world’s most widespread and debilitating parasitic diseases. On the other hand, insects pollinate more than 60% of all flowering plants, enrich soils, and are vital components of terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems.
