In the MSENT degree program, you’ll tackle pressing agricultural and ecological challenges through advanced coursework, immersive fieldwork, and impactful research. By integrating insect science with agricultural systems and One Health principles, you’ll develop solutions that protect crops, livestock, and human health while promoting environmental sustainability.
Choose a path that fits your goals: a research-oriented thesis option (Plan A) or a design-oriented non-thesis option (Plan B). Both options require 30 credit hours, with Plan A students eligible to count six credit hours of research residency towards that total. Applicants typically hold a bachelor’s degree in entomology, biology, agriculture, or a related field.
As an MSENT student, you’ll collaborate across disciplines, engage with agricultural and public health stakeholders, and contribute to research that strengthens food systems and ecosystem resilience, preparing you to lead in a wide range of agricultural, environmental, and health-related careers or continue your academic journey towards a Ph.D. or other advanced degrees.
