Ringkasan program

This program includes insect ecology, pest management, aquatic entomology, plant-insect interactions, biological control, and biology and ecology of disease-transmitting arthropods. The entomology program manages the only university-affiliated biological quarantine laboratory in the Northeast. Faculty and students search abroad for natural enemies of pest species and study them in the laboratory under secure conditions. The laboratory, certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as an insect-quarantine facility, is an important component of a long-standing program on insect ecology and the development of environmentally sensitive pest-control measures. Program requirements: 72 credits of advanced course work beyond the bachelor's degree (a master's degree may count for up to 30 credits), 18 of which are dissertation credits and at least two of which are graduate seminar credits; comprehensive examination; and dissertation. A qualifying examination will be required for students who are admitted without a master's degree and may be required for students whose prior degrees are outside of the proposed Ph.D. field of study.

Persyaratan masuk bagi mahasiswa internasional

Admission requires GRE and bachelor's degree in a biological, physical science, natural resources science, or engineering; specific undergraduate majors or course work may be required for certain fields of study. A Master's degree with thesis in biological science, physical science, or natural resources science is highly recommended. Applicants from foreign countries must complete the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a minimum score of 550 unless a higher minimum is listed under the admission requirements for the specific plan. Students also completed GRE math and verbal sections. Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores are optional for both domestic and international applicants, as listed on a reference copy of the application forms (international or US).
