Welcome to the Division of Entomology.  To learn more, explore the links in the right column.  Read about individual faculty member bios and research programs, view courses of study for the entomology-related degree programs, and find opportunities on assistantships, fellowships and other opportunities.

The Division of Entomology is dedicated to developing and communicating knowledge about the biology of insects, the problems they cause and benefits they can provide for human beings.  Several of our research programs focus on the biology and ecology of pests affecting the major crops of Idaho and the region.  We also conduct research on the biology of mosquitoes that can vector human pathogens and on insects as biological control agents to manage invasive weeds.  Each of these research programs requires to varying degrees, study of the behavior, ecology, chemical ecology and physiology of insects.

We have a strong graduate program offering the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in entomology.  Division faculty also contribute to teaching and mentoring undergraduate students in our PSES Bachelor of Science in Agriculture & Life Sciences. 

Undergraduates in this program can elect the insects & society emphasis area if they wish to concentrate more on insect biology and prepare themselves for careers in pest management, environmental monitoring, or other areas in which insects are important.
