Graduate students in several disciplines – agronomy, animal science, biochemistry, biological sciences, genetics, veterinary diagnostic medicine and pathobiology, horticulture, and plant pathology – are conducting research on topics that may include insects and plant protectionpest management. Such students may wish to demonstrate proficiency in entomology, making them more suitable for certain jobs. In order to strengthen their educational programs and the quality of graduate education without detracting from their existing graduate degree programs, an entomology graduate certificate program has been developed through the Department of Entomology. Its objectives are to prepare graduates for careers related to entomology or plant protectionpest management, encourage interdisciplinary educational experiences in entomology and enhance the educational experiences of participating graduate students.
