There were 3 times as many courses with fewer than 20 students as those with 30 or more. There are 281 faculty members. Ninety-eight and one half percent of the faculty have a Ph.D. or highest terminal degree in their field. Professors are actively involved with the students. Each professor has scheduled office hours and encourages students to stop by frequently.
Many professors invite their classes to their homes for a meal.
We are proud to say that the rates have been increasing in recent years. Colgate sponsors 22 off campus study groups that visit 18 different countries. The programs are designed and run by our own professors with almost every student being from Colgate. This allows us to control the quality of students and coursework, and ensure the intellectual purpose of the program will be met. These programs are one semester in length.
