Whats the average class size at Carolina?
Two-thirds of undergraduate classes at Carolina have fewer than 30 students. As a first-year student, you will be required to fulfill English, foreign language, and math requirements, and these departments place a 35-person cap on classes. New students also participate in First Year Seminars. These seminars are taught by faculty who are both active scholars and accomplished instructors and enroll no more than twenty first-year students. Also, any Carolina student may enroll in an Honors course with the consent of the instructor. Honors classes, on average, have about 15 students. For the approximately five percent of classes that contain more than 100 students, most meet twice a week in a lecture setting and once in a small group discussion or in a lab.
