Mission: Teaching, Research, Extension 
The Ohio State University, home to Ohio's only university entomology department, offers academic programs for undergraduate and graduate students with a focus on teaching, research, and outreach.
Why Study Entomology?
You'll explore the critical impact of insects on our world, including their roles in:
-
Agriculture: Learn how insects affect key crops like corn, soybeans, and wheat, ensuring sustainable food production.
-
Pollination and Biodiversity: Discover how insects are vital for pollinating crops and maintaining healthy ecosystems.
-
Health: Investigate how insects transmit diseases to humans and animals.
-
Sustainable Systems: Study how insects influence both urban and rural food systems.
Insects outnumber all other life forms combined and, while a small percentage are pests, many more are beneficial, helping to control other insects, recycle nutrients, and pollinate much of our food. If you're interested, you can fill out the Entomology Student Interest Form to learn more.
