Program details

Overview

The Doctor of Philosophy in Entomology is offered by the Department of Entomology at the University of Manitoba, the only stand-alone entomology department in Canada. The program trains students in advanced insect science through original research, culminating in a candidacy examination and a doctoral thesis. Research areas span insect ecology, systematics, physiology, and pest management, supported by faculty with expertise across the discipline. Students normally complete a Master of Science degree before entering the Ph.D. program, though students already enrolled in the department's M.Sc. program who show exceptional research ability may request an early transfer to the doctoral stream. As part of the application, prospective Ph.D. students must submit a short proposal describing a research project they consider suitable as a doctoral thesis. Students are expected to maintain a minimum degree grade point average of 3.0, with no grade below C+, throughout the program. Full-time students can expect to complete the degree in three to five years.
