The Department offers programs leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) in Entomology, M.S. in
Wildlife Ecology, and the Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Entomology and Wildlife Ecology. Graduate
students in these fields couple a focus on insects or vertebrates with a broad knowledge of other related
fields of biology, especially ecology. Each candidate’s program is planned with the help of the advisor and
graduate committee. The M.S. degree programs prepare students for pursuit of the
Ph.D. and careers in entomology, wildlife ecology, and other biological disciplines
