Our Masters of Science (MS) graduates are successful in finding careers in research, education, regulation and commercial businesses as well as continuing their studies toward a Doctor of Philosophy.
Students chose between an MS in Entomology and an MS in Entomology with a specialization in Ecology, Evolutionary Biology and Behavior (EEBB). Visit the EEBB web site for details on this interdisciplinary graduate program.

Requirements for earning the Master of Science Degree in Entomology
Both Plan A (with thesis) and Plan B (without thesis) are available but students planning to earn a doctoral degree must follow Plan A. Students must complete a total of 30 credits for the degree under either Plan A or Plan B. Participation in the department's teaching program is also required.

Courses and thesis topics are planned on an individual basis by the student with his or her major professor and guidance committee. A final oral examination covering course work, research, and philosophical issues is required.
