Interaction with faculty is key to a student’s success. Students look to professors not only for knowledge and mastery of a discipline, but for guidance and mentorship. As a measure of student access to full-time faculty, Maclean’s calculates the number of full-time-equivalent students per full-time faculty member. Figures listed here reflect the ratio for all students, graduate as well as undergrad.
