DEFINITION - KPI 3
It is valuable that students experience quality learning opportunities in the classroom when measuring matters of teaching and learning. One indicator that each student is receiving enough attention to fulfill his/her educational needs is the student-faculty ratio.
Ultimately, the student-faculty ratio decreasing gradually across fiscal years, although the steady progress is moving to lower our student-to-faculty ratio as we monitor the trend from FY05 to FY07.
The Student-to-Faculty Ratio is calculated using this formula:
Ratio of full-time equivalent students (full-time plus 1/3 part-time) to full-time equivalent instructional faculty (full-time plus 1/3 part-time). In the ratio calculations, both faculty and students in stand-alone graduate or professional programs such as medicine, law, veterinary, dentistry, social work, business, or public health in which faculty teach virtually only graduate-level students are excluded. Undergraduate or graduate student teaching assistants are not counted as faculty. Data taken from the Common Data Set housed by the Office of Institutional Research.

New Data should be available in Dec./Jan. of each year.
