Facilities and training are available for graduate study in major areas of entomology, including (but not limited to)
Departmental faculty, adjunct faculty, and affiliate faculty may all serve as student advisors. Faculty are housed both on campus and at research stations throughout the state; the ability to significantly interact with both on- and off-campus advisors and mentors offers students opportunities and perspectives not available in most programs. We maintain strong cooperative interactions with the USDA ARS lab in Yakima, Washington, and students are encouraged to explore this avenue for advisors and funding opportunities. The department has a long and excellent record of student placement both nationally and internationally.
