Class Sizes

Class sizes likely stayed the same for you through high school. You'll find that college is much different.

Conversely, as they progress and their focus narrows, higher-level courses can sometimes have just a handful of students.

Drew has an average student-to-faculty ratio of 9:1. The typical school is 14:1. While this ratio is important, what’s more important is how big a typical class is.
