Among other reasons, we think our primary justification is the high ratio of psychology majors to FT faculty in our program. We currently have 220 majors and 5 full-time faculty, a ratio of 44:1. We have no part-time faculty. I'm interested in knowing what the ratio is at your intitutions. Is 44:1 typical? Is it highly unusual? Just where do we stand in comparison to other medium-sized institutiuons (~ 7500 students)? Do you know of any other data sets (e.g., APA) where such information might be obtained? I'll be glad to share the responses I get with everyone on the list. Thanks in advance.
