Data on student/faculty ratios have been compiled and are reported in the documents below. Preliminary to these reports, it is important to note the following definitions of terms used in this study:

Faculty F.T.E.:  This represent a count of all full-time nine-month faculty at 1.0 F.T.E. plus proportionate counts of part-time or split appointment faculty on an appropriate basis.  It DOES NOT count administrators holding departmental rank if they are NOT PAID by the department.

Teaching Graduate Assistant F.T.E.:  This represents a calculation of all graduate students who have appropriate appointments and who participate in instruction.  Most are counted at .33 F.T.E.

Student Enrollment F.T.E.:  This is the official F.T.E. count.  Student Credit Hours (SCH) follows faculty; that is the F.T.E. enrollment taught by faculty is recorded in the department which pays the individual faculty member.

Student/Faculty Ratio:  This figure is calculated by dividing Student Enrollment F.T.E. by Faculty F.T.E.

Student/Teaching Staff Ratio:  This figure is calculated by dividing Student Enrollment F.T.E. by the sum of Faculty F.T.E. plus Teaching Graduate Assistant F.T.E.
