When your 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, you will study advanced topics related to insect systems, biodiversity, ecology, physiology and pest management. You 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.
