We offer both Master's and Doctoral graduate programs
In addition to the terminal Ph.D. degree, the entry level degree is the M.S., with a thesis (Plan A) or a non-thesis (Plan B). Plan B is offered in Integrated Pest Management and other specialized areas of study designed to meet the student's professional objectives.
Contact our graduate studies coordinator, Sarah DeVilbiss, for more information about any aspect of the entomology graduate program.
We also offer the Master in Plant Health Management program. The aim of this program is to provide hands-on training that includes both technical and professional aspects of plant health management, as the need for qualified individuals in the field increases. Neither the Plan B M.S. nor the Master in Plant Health Management is considered adequate preparation for a Ph.D.
The Ohio State Entomology graduate faculty are based on the Columbus campus and CFAES Wooster campus. Faculty in other departments may serve as advisors, subject to the approval of the Graduate Studies Committee.
