Program Details

Because of the size of our program, you can have the flexibility to implement your specialized research project with the guidance of the faculty and the collaboration of other students. Our relationship with the University of Idaho’s Department of Plant, Soils and Entomological Sciences, just 8 miles away, allows us to offer a wide array of courses and work on joint research projects.

Our students are involved with the community. The WSU Entomology Club organizes and hosts an annual Insect Expo, sharing the wonderful world of insects with children and adults alike. Our students also enjoy social events throughout the year.

Facilities

Our recently refurnished graduate student office provides a stimulating environment for research and learning.

Funding and Support

The Department of Entomology at Washington State University is one of a select few that receive annual funding and support from the ARCS Seattle Chapter. PhD student candidates seeking this prestigious fellowship are encouraged to apply early and communicate their interest to the department graduate coordinator and faculty.
