Three laboratories, Plant Pathology, Entomology and Sericulture, then under the College of Science and Agriculture, were merged into the Department of Agricultural Biology and College of Agriculture, NTU. The Department was renamed as the Department and Graduate Institute of Plant Pathology and Entomology that included two divisions─Division of Plant Pathology and Division of Entomology. The Ph.D. program was first offered by the College of Agriculture since 1967. The Department was recently divided into two independent departments. Thus, the Department of Entomology was established on August 1, 1998. We Aim to train equip students with comprehensive knowledge and state-of-the-art techniques in entomology, plant quarantine and integrated pest management in order to meet the needs of society. The students graduate from the department will have a wide range of careers in both the private and the public sectors related to teaching, research, extension and administration in plant protection and quarantine, ecological conservation, environmental pollution, disease vector control and biotechnology etc.國立台灣大學前身為日據時期之台北帝國大學，於1928年 3月17日設立，初設理農學部及文政學部，當時理農學部農學科中有昆蟲及養蠶講座素木得一教授。由於素木教授尚兼中央研究所應用動物科（即光復後之農業試驗所之應用動物系）科長，學術聲譽崇高，現今台大昆蟲館之規模乃依其意願建造，並於1936年6月13日落成。 台灣光復後，本系於1947年設立，初名為國立台灣大學農業生物學系（分設昆蟲學組及植物病理學組）。並於1949年更名為植物病蟲害學系（所），1967年獲准成立博士班。是故本系所在本校農學院中為成立最早者，更是全國成立最早之相關科系及研究所。由於歷史悠久，教學及研究設備齊全，兩組各有獨立之教學及研究領域，因此於1998年8月1日獲准兩組分系為昆蟲學系及植物病理學系。 本系以動物界節肢動物門之昆蟲綱為研究對象。自台灣光復至98學年度止，從昆蟲組畢業的學士有929人，碩士363人，博士120人，共計畢業人數為1412 人。系上師生關係融洽，老師對於學生非常地照顧。由於各班人數少，同學之間的感情也較濃厚。昆蟲系之研究領域十分廣泛，舉凡生命科學之領域均有涉獵，更是在農業發展中不可或缺的一環。由於全體師生的認真學習及努力研究，加上生物技術及分子生物學的應用，因而充實昆蟲學的內容，相信本系未來的發展遠景將大有可為。Academic Institute
