A background in entomology is not required for students seeking to enter our graduate program. In fact, we encourage applicants with a BS in any area of the life sciences to apply. Students with a BS degree are normally admitted at the MS level but may petition to bypass this degree and work towards the PhD after meeting specific departmental requirements. Teaching and research assistantships are available from the department. Applications are submitted through the Graduate School. By indicating a particular Entomology degree in the online form, the application information and documents are directed to our program to use for the review and admission process. Students without previous courses in genetics and biochemistry will be required to make up these deficiencies after entering the program. Courses in animal physiology or cell and molecular biology can be substitutes.
