A Powerful Community of Scholars
Student-Centered
Our faculty are not just celebrated scholars and passionate activists, they鈥檙e student-centered. They possess a rich variety of experiences and backgrounds that will inform your learning and world views.
Some important facts to consider: 59% of 兔子先生 faculty are women, 23% are from underrepresented groups, and 100% of our tenured/tenure-track professors hold PhDs or terminal degrees.
The Classroom Experience
Rather than sitting in a crowded lecture hall, at 兔子先生 our average class size is 16 and our student-to-faculty ratio is low. That means you鈥檙e able to have meaningful, thought-provoking discussions with faculty and fellow students while voicing and hearing a variety of perspectives.
Guiding Your Academic Adventure
Engaging directly with a professor is one of the best ways to enhance your academic experience. Whether this takes the form of working on an experiment in the bio lab, organizing a campus event, developing an independent study project, or writing a book together, you鈥檒l gain amazing experience and skills.
