Online Application Information / Guidelines:

  • The application fee is $70 for the domestic application and $90 for the international. The fee may be paid by credit card or e-check. The fee must be paid before the application will be considered as complete, and the fee must be paid for each application submitted.
  • Letters of Recommendation must be submitted electronically through the online application. Hard or email copies will not be accepted.
  • Please submit only one transcript for each university or college you have attended.
  • The GRE general test is required. It is strongly recommended that the subject test also be taken but it is not required. Though most of our applicants take the biology test, any topic can be taken. Please have GRE scores sent to the Entomology Department (school code: 4834; department code: 0209).

  • In order to be admitted, a prospective graduate student must be accepted into a laboratory by a major professor. The major professor guides the student’s research and provides partial financial support for the student. The Entomology web site has a list of professors, their research interests, and their contact information. Prospective students are encouraged to contact potential major professors as part of the application process and discuss the possibility of working in their lab.
