Graduate study at Cornell is organized by fields rather than by traditional disciplines. This approach identifies faculty by broad, interdisciplinary subject areas, rather than by traditional departmental units, and gives students access to those faculty members who can best support and direct a particular course of study.
The graduate field of Entomology is composed of faculty from the
Department of Entomology in Ithaca, the
Department of Entomology in Geneva, the
Division of Biological Sciences and other units on the Ithaca campus, as well as adjunct field members from
Boyce Thompson Institute and
USDA. Our graduate program emphasizes flexibility and permits an outstanding degree of accommodation to the needs and interests of the individual student. The field of Entomology offers both M.S. and Ph.D degrees in a wide range of basic and applied research areas.
