Master of Science - Entomology

When the field of study encompasses 800,000 biologically diverse insect species, the challenges are endless. This program, the state’s only graduate program in entomology, provides a deep understanding of insects and their impact on agriculture, human health, and the environment.

As a graduate student, students will study advanced topics related to insect systems, biodiversity, ecology, physiology, and pest management. Students will acquire the skills to develop integrated pest management systems, breed pest-resistant plants, tackle emerging pollination issues, and battle insect-borne diseases here and abroad.

Students in this program lead independent research, with opportunities to conduct experiments across Idaho’s diverse ecological conditions and cropping systems.
