The keystone of the Graduate Program in Entomology in the School of Graduate Studies at Rutgers University is individual research projects performed by graduate students under close supervision by faculty in the Departments of Entomology, Ecology, Evolution, and Natural Resources, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Environmental and Occupational Health, and Plant Science, as well as several research centers including the Center for Turfgrass Science, leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees. The Entomology Graduate Program is designed to educate scientists who can function in a wide array of professional endeavors. The requirements are intended to present the student with contemporary thought and methods of entomological research.
