Our Faculty
With a student/faculty ratio of 18 to 1, nearly all classes are taught by faculty members, not graduate assistants. While focusing their energy in the classroom, our professors also research, publish, and consult in their fields.
Our faculty—and students—have included winners of Fulbright and Goldwater scholarships as well as other notable academic awards.
