    PROFESSORS TEACH YOUR CLASSES, SO YOU’RE READY FOR GRAD EXAMS – With small class sizes in your major courses and professors who teach your classes and know you by name, you’ll find it easier to learn the material you'll need to know for graduate entrance exams. Above, professor Muhammad Numan explains equipment in a physics lab to a student.
