专业概况

The Department of Entomology offers graduate programs leading to Doctoral and Master of Science degrees. The curriculum provides the opportunity to study the basic and applied aspects of the science. Facilities and training are available for graduate study in major areas of entomology, including (but not limited to) apiculture; behavior; integrated biological control and sustainable pest management; ecology; forest entomology; insect/plant interactions; medical/veterinary entomology; population genetics; physiology; systematic; biological diversity and environmental toxicology. Departmental faculty, adjunct faculty, and affiliate faculty may all serve as student advisors. Faculty are housed both on campus and at research stations throughout the state; the ability to significantly interact with both on- and off-campus advisors and mentors offers students opportunities and perspectives not available in most programs.

Student Learning Outcomes:

All graduates will be able to:

To provide training that will enable students to become successful professionals in positions in industry, government and academia, the program will provide a graduate experience that will:

Provide an educational experience that conveys to students an excellent understanding of the breadth of the field of Entomology, and a superb level of specific expertise in their chosen defined area of this field. Develop the expertise to use entomological knowledge to address emerging problems in agricultural science and vector-based human and animal health issues. Present research to local, regional, national and international audiences though publications and conference papers. Participate in professional organizations through membership, attendance and presentations at meetings. Improve their ability to teach and communicate though experiential teaching activities within the department and community.

To prepare students to conduct innovative research on entomologically-based issues of international importance, the program will provide a graduate experience that:

Encourages students to conduct innovative research of a specific research topic while simultaneously cultivating their ability to recognize and address knowledge gaps in their field through appropriate research. Motivates the student to inculcate a solid understanding of prior research in their field and to demonstrate this understanding through their research reviews, oral presentations and publications. Assists the student to develop an ability to clearly communicate their research findings to professional and stakeholder audiences and to have a robust understanding of the scientific method, statistical inference and hypothesis testing.

To enhance the visibility and impact of the graduate program in Entomology at WSU both nationally and internationally, the program will:

Attract and retain high quality graduate students. Provide effective mentoring and tracking of student progress to ensure a quality graduate experience and encourage timely completion of graduate requirements. Assist in placement of students in positions in industry, government and academia. Seek to hire, mentor and retain nationally recognized research faculty that will actively support entomological graduate student research.

Student Opportunities:

Students have access to excellent labs and greenhouse facilities on the Pullman campus and at Research and Extension centers located throughout Washington State. Students are encouraged to attend Entomological Society of America meetings, as well as other professional meetings, where they present their research, and learn from other scientists in their chosen field.
