Plant, Soil and Entomological Sciences Graduate Degree Programs

Candidates must fulfill the requirements of the College of Graduate Studies and of the Department of Plant, Soil, and Entomological Sciences. See the College of Graduate Studies section of Part 4 for general requirements applicable to each degree.

Master and Doctoral students will choose a major professor with the concurrence of the faculty member involved. This choice is based upon the availability of the faculty member and the compatibility of the student's research interests with those of the professor.

Master of Science, Major in Entomology. Thesis and non-thesis options are offered. Admission to graduate programs in entomology requires an undergraduate degree, usually in some field of biology. Specific requirements for each degree are determined by the student's graduate committee. Candidates for the M.S. with zoology or entomology course deficiencies in their undergraduate program may be required to list those courses as deficiencies on their M.S. program.

Master of Science, Major in Plant Science or Soils (Thesis Option). General M.S. requirements apply. These requirements include a formal program of at least 30 semester hours to be chosen in consultation with the major professor and approved by the student's supervisory committee. Candidates for this degree must complete an independent research project and submit an acceptable thesis as well as pass a final oral examination.
