WE ARE
one of the oldest entomology departments in the nation, and we strive for excellence in education, research, and outreach with our rich tradition and dedication. We provide instruction in insect biology and management at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Faculty in the Department of Entomology engage in both applied and basic research. Departmental faculty contribute to outreach and engagement activities both within and external to the university. Extension programs supported by the department provide information to agricultural and industrial groups and the general public, in Ohio, in the USA, and throughout the world.
