The Entomology and Nematology Department offers the Master of Science (thesis and non-thesis options) and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in entomology and nematology. The Department also offers a cooperative Doctor of Philosophy degree with Florida A&M University and distance education courses leading to the Master of Science degree with specializations in basic entomology, medical entomology, urban pest management, and landscape pest management.
The Entomology and Nematology Department prepares students for exciting careers in a large variety of fields. Entomology and Nematology majors can enter medical, veterinary, or dental school; progress to graduate study in entomology, nematology, or any of several other biological sciences such as ecology and evolutionary biology, horticulture, or zoology; or move directly to a variety of careers (including industry and government positions) in fields such as pest management, agriculture, ecotourism, biosecurity, science policy, and education.
Members of the Graduate Faculty include the department's resident faculty, faculty located on the University of Florida campuses outside Gainesville, scientists with other State of Florida agencies, such as the Division of Plant Industry and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and scientists of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The Graduate Faculty is qualified to direct graduate students in all specialties of entomology and nematology.
New graduate students should have backgrounds in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Minor deficiencies may be made up after entering graduate school.
