regular assignment is instruction, including those with released time for research.
Institutions are asked to

 

EXCLUDE:

(b) administrative officers with titles such as dean of students, librarians, registrar,
coach, and the like, even though they may devote part of their time to classroom instruction
and may have faculty status

(c) undergraduate or graduate students who assist in the instruction of courses, but
have titles such as teaching assistant, teaching fellow, and the like

(d) faculty on leave without pay, and

(e) replacement faculty for faculty on sabbatical leave

Full-time: faculty employed on a full-time basis

Part-time: faculty teaching less than two semesters, three quarters, two trimesters, or two

of Public Health, and Doctor of Philosophy degree in any field.

I-2. Student to Faculty Ratio

Report the Fall 2003 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, exclude 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.
Do not count undergraduate or graduate student teaching assistants as faculty.

Fall 2003 Student to Faculty ratio: 27 to 1

I-3. Undergraduate Class Size

In the table below, please use the following definitions to report information about
the size of classes and class sections offered in the Fall 2003 term.

Class Sections:A class section is an organized course offered for credit, identified by discipline
and number, meeting at a stated time or times in a classroom or similar setting, and
not a subsection such as a laboratory or discussion session. Undergraduate class sections
are defined as any sections in which at least one degree-seeking undergraduate student
is enrolled for credit. Exclude distance learning classes and noncredit classes and
individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction,
or one-to-one readings. Exclude students in independent study, co-operative programs,
internships, foreign language taped tutor sessions, practicums, and all students in
one-on-one classes. Each class section should be counted only once and should not
be duplicated because of course catalog cross-listings.
