The doctoral program normally requires 30 credits of   coursework and 42 credits of research. No foreign language is required.   Ordinarily, two full research semesters in residence are required, but this   requirement may be waived by petition to the program faculty. The   master's with thesis degree requires 24 credits of coursework and 6   credits of research. Upon recommendation by the student's adviser and   the advisory committee, the master's nonthesis degree may be awarded   with the substitution of classes and an essay in the place of the   thesis. The graduate program in entomology also publishes program guides   for graduate studies, which explain requirements and are available at http://entomology.rutgers.edu/graduate.
