The Faculty
The credentials and experience of our 80 full-time faculty members, most of whom hold doctorates or other terminal degrees, reflect Anderson University's continuing emphasis on high academic standards. The average ratio of students to faculty is thirteen to one, one of the smaller ratios in higher education. This ratio combined with extraordinary commitment to personalized education translates to small classes, and the ability of professors to give one-on-one attention, gives students a challenging and focused learning opportunity.
