Program Information

Degree Offered

M.A.-Entomology, Ph.D.-Entomology

Program Description:

Kansas University has a tradition of pioneering excellence in entomology that has been recognized nationally and internationally for the past 120 years. In fact, "Entomology at the University of Kansas is as old as the University itself." As the result of recent departmental merger Entomology is now a full partner in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. The newly defined Program in Entomology at KU is unique, not only because of the former department's long history, but also because it is one of a few such departments not administered within a school of agriculture. We are primarily focused on the basic biology of insects: systematics, evolutionary processes, genetics, biogeography, ecology, population biology, behavior, morphology, and physiology.

International Student Requirements:

International students are required to submit proof of English proficiency. Generally, this is accomplished by submission of TOEFL-ibt scores. For regular admission, all part scores must be at least 20. International master's applicants are required to submit proof of financial resources for the first year of study.
