Top Colleges Ranked by Student-Faculty Ratio – Undenominational

About

Many students seek a college or university with a low student-to-faculty ratio as it means that students, on average, get more face-to-face time with professors and instructors. This also means that it's easier to get help outside of class and get in to faculty office hours.
