What is the relationship between students and faculty members?
In the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work at UD, the student-to-faculty ratio is approximately 7 to 1. This ratio allows for much student-faculty interaction. Faculty members know majors, because they frequently work with them closely on projects and assignments. This allows for excellent mentoring of our students. The chairperson is officially the students’ incoming adviser, but after their first year, students are assigned to a departmental adviser for the remainder of their time. However, informal advising takes place in a variety of contexts from halls, faculty offices, and before and after classes, and sometimes even in the KU dining rooms.
