They are experts in their fields, active both in and out of the classroom. For example, our English teachers include not only published poets and authors, but an internationally recognized Hemingway scholar. A close look at nearly any discipline at UND will reveal professors who are authorities in their fields. Yet, in addition to their research and scholarly pursuits, a national study has shown that UND faculty value teaching and working with students and spend more time doing it than is typically the case. Our best-known professors teach undergraduate courses, advise students, and often take a special interest in them.
Faculty like to get to KNOW their students.
