Mem- bers of the graduate faculty include the department resident faculty, faculty located on University of Florida campuses away from Gainesville, scientists of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and scientists with other State of Florida agen- cies such as the Division of Plant Industry and Florida State Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service. The graduatefaculty is qualified todirectgraduate students in all specialities of entomology, nematology, and acarology. New graduate students should have background in biol- ogy, chemistry, physics, and mathematics and knowledge of basic entomology or nematology. Minor deficiencies may be made up after entering graduate school. General requirements for graduate degrees are estab- lished by the Graduate School and listed elsewhere in this Catalog. A specific program of study is prepared by the appointed supervisory committee for each student. Ph.D. qualifying examinations are administered on campus by the student's supervisory committee plus two other faculty members appointed by the chairman of the department.
