Faculty & Teaching

Emory's academic strength is grounded not only in the cutting-edge research of a top university, but also in the liberal arts tradition of engaged teaching.

• All members of Emory's 3,046 regular full-time faculty (2011-12) hold the highest degree in their field.
• At Emory College of Arts and Sciences, faculty members typically teach at all levels of instruction, providing access to the university's most distinguished scholars.
• Undergraduate classes have an average size of 19 students and a student/faculty ratio of 7 to 1.

Individual faculty excellence includes scholarly achievement, teaching and advising, the potential to create new knowledge, and a clear dedication to service. Working together, faculty members are a central and essential resource for achieving our vision of an inquiry-driven, ethically engaged and diverse intellectual community.
