Smaller, dynamic class sizes

SLU School of Public Health is one of the more modest-sized accredited schools in the nation, so students can be assured that most classes will be smaller, thus affording ample opportunities for discussions and access to the teacher.  The School has a ratio of students to FT faculty of about 7.5 to one.  Because they are smaller, some classes are held in the relaxed and collegial setting of a seminar room.  This helps to create an atmosphere in which students and faculty are mutually involved in the learning enterprise and gives students a great sense of “belonging” at SLU SPH. 

“The classroom style as well as the diversity of students are both assets to the program. Classroom sizes are small, and allow for personal interaction and growth through sharing and gaining knowledge from and with professors as well as fellow students.” (Beth Haas, MPH ’06)
