Department of Ecosystem Science and Management
The Department of Ecosystem Science and Management integrates rangeland ecology and watershed management, soil science, and entomology. Our students' education is enhanced by learning not only of their discipline but also how their discipline relates to others. Our research increasingly tackles the information gaps that are at the frontiers of science and management that lie in the connection between disciplines.
The Department offers MS and PhD degrees in Entomology.
Entomology graduate students in the Department of Ecosystem Science & Management study a variety of scientific issues related to insects across the globe, including exotic countries like Ecuador and Uzbekistan. Past graduates have received major awards in Entomology, such as the Snodgras and Comstock Awards given by the Entomological Society of America.
The Ph.D. program allows graduate students to use the research-oriented tools learned during a master's program to conduct research on a major question surrounding entomology.
