Our mission is to form professionals with a holistic vision and leadership skills for excellence in Entomology and Acarology, and to generate and disseminate knowledge to meet the demands of society for sustainable solutions of problems involving insects and mites. Our Graduate Program in Entomology is pioneer in the field and has been playing a significant role in the development of educational and research centers throughout Brazil since the program was established (1968 for MSc; 1972 for PhD).
