The Entomology PhD program is small (owing to the few faculties currently available to provide grant-based financial support), and we have had no need to adjust the current program in the past three years. The program has no specific coursework requirements, and we largely measure student success based on their output of peer-reviewed publications, and presentations and national and international meetings.
