Bachelor in ENTOMOLOGIE UND PFLANZENPATHOLOGIE

The Department of Entomology & Plant Pathology offers undergraduate Entomology majors three degree options that provide hands-on opportunities, interactive learning, and potential employment within the department, so you’ll be prepared with practical experience for nearly any entomological career. The department also offers graduate students two masters options and two doctoral options.

We have resources on our website for current and future students, people interested in our research on insects and plant diseases, and people interested in controlling pest insects and damaging plant diseases.

The Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology is a small student-centered department. Because we are a small, close-knit group, students can expect to receive important individualized attention, greater access to scholarship funds and a wide range of opportunities for internships, and one-on-one research experiences with a faculty mentor. And, an entomology degree is highly marketable in today's job market.

OSU is one of only 16 universities in the nation with an entomology program and has the second largest enrollment.

You are not a number in our college — you are an individual with unique needs, interests and goals. We make it a top priority to create a family atmosphere in and out of the classroom, while still challenging you with rigorous and engaging academics offered by our dedicated faculty, and plenty of opportunity for gaining real-world experience.

Students in our college come from both urban settings and traditional agricultural backgrounds. They are first-generation, legacy, in-state, out-of-state and out-of-country students. This diversity adds strength to the Ferguson College of Agriculture experience.
