Interested in Entomology??? There is a LTHET option open to AMEDD Officers interested in becoming an Army Entomologist (72B). The 72B MSPH LTHET program at the Uniformed Services University offers a Master of Science in Public Health degree with a concentration in Medical Entomology. The program provides a firm technical base in this diverse field of study and prepares Officers to address the full scope of entomological and public health challenges that can harm DoD personnel, operations, and materiel. Students take the basic course work for the MSPH program, including biostatistics and epidemiology, plus a series of entomology electives during the first year. Additional entomology courses and a research project are completed in the second year, culminating with a thesis. The Graduate Program at USU offers a unique perspective on military entomology not available at other universities. Through collaborations with DoD laboratories and funded faculty projects, militarily-relevant research opportunities are available to participants in the graduate program. Active-duty Army and Navy Entomologists are on staff at USU to mentor students. This program provides a well-balanced and militarily-relevant education in both public health and entomology for students considering an AOC transfer to 72B or for officers who entered the 72B career field with a BS degree. For more information on this opportunity or to learn more about the 72B career field, contact the 72B Consultant, COL Michelle Colacicco-Mayhugh at michelle.colaciccomayhugh.mil@mail.mil.

Teammates, The Academic Year 2026 Long-term Health Education and Training (LTHET) MILPER is now available. Please carefully review for application processing timelines and programs of choice.
