Admission Requirements
As preparation for an advanced degree in
entomology, a student should have completed an
undergraduate major in one of the biological or
physical sciences, forestry, agriculture or a
closely related field. Students with majors in
other disciplines are considered on an individual
basis. Background work should include courses in
biological and physical sciences, genetics,
ecology, entomology, and plant or animal
sciences. To apply, submit a letter of
application stating personal goals and
professional objectives; official GRE scores
(advanced biology subject test is recommended);
official copies of all college or university
transcripts; three letters of recommendation; and
official TOEFL or IELTS scores (international
students only). Please visit the departmental web
site at http://entomology.wsu.edu
for further information.
Program Description
Entomology at Washington State University is
active, robust, and dynamic. The curriculum
provides the opportunity to study the basic and
applied aspects of the science. Facilities and
training are available for graduate study in
major areas of entomology, including (but not
limited to) apiculture, behavior, integrated
biological control and sustainable pest
management, ecology, forest entomology,
insect/plant interactions, medical/veterinary
entomology, population genetics, physiology,
systematics, biological diversity, and
environmental toxicology. 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, WA,
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.
