The College currently has a 9.6-to-1 student-faculty ratio, based on 175 full-time and 69 part-time faculty members. By gender identity, 51% of full-time faculty members are women and 49% are men. Using federal race\/ethnicity categories, our Fall 2025 full-time faculty is 22% U.S. BIPOC (10% Asian, 6% Hispanic, and 6% Black\/African American), 71% White, and 7% non-U.S. citizens (of any race). Together, U.S. and international BIPOC faculty constitute over 27% of full-time faculty members. In terms of academic training, 95% of full-time faculty members hold a PhD or other terminal degree (such as an MFA). Of the 175 full-time faculty, 120 (69%) are tenured, 23 (13%) are untenured and on the tenure track, 15 (9%) are continuing faculty members not on the tenure track (e.g., teaching professors), and 17 (10%) are visiting faculty members not on the tenure track. Women account for about 49%, 52%, and 67% of tenured, untenured, and continuing non-tenuretrack faculty members, respectively. By division, Fall 2025 full-time faculty are 33% in social sciences departments, 29% in humanities, 25% in natural sciences and mathematics, and 13% in the visual and performing arts.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
