Students have, beginning in their very first semester, the opportunity to study and work with all our professors in all disciplines. Professors, not graduate students, teach at Wagner so that students are assured the quality of instruction that Wagner values. Our faculty is committed to teaching and they are also invested in their students' success. Faculty take direct interest in students, both inside and outside the classroom. They are directly involved in the work students do in their field experiences and involve themselves in student groups like honors societies and academic clubs, the newspaper and literary magazine.
Faculty serve as academic advisors throughout a student's academic career.
But more than that, they also serve as valuable resources for students when thinking about job and graduate school searches. Very often, it is a student's professors who can give critical advice, references and recommendations for students-they are, after all, the people who best know the student's work in college. These relationships between students and faculty grow from our commitment to teaching. Students regularly work on research projects with faculty. For example, Wagner is an undergraduate research partner of Harvard Medical School's Institute of Mind and Body Research, which provides research opportunities for our science students.
