I’ve heard a lot about achieving a 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio at Meredith. What is Meredith’s student-to-faculty ratio and why is this number so important?
Student–to-faculty ratio is a commonly used measure in many evaluations and rankings around the world. Collegebound explains it succinctly: A low ratio means that a college or university is working diligently to ensure that there is enough faculty on hand to teach both required courses and higher-level electives in their programs and that class size, particularly as you get further into your major, is kept at a minimum. Meredith’s ratio has fluctuated throughout the years, but has always been considered low as compared to our competitors. In 2000, for example, the College reported a 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Moving from our current 10:1 ratio back to a 12:1 ratio — which was established in Vision 2010, Meredith’s strategic plan, as Meredith’s optimum ratio — will have minimal impact on students while allowing the College to redirect some resources to further enhance the educational climate for students and the overall health of the institution.
