Mark- Sorry- I thought I did. Our major to faculty ration is 29:1. Albertson 
College of Idaho (It is SUPPOSED to be 15 to one or LESS!). In spite of that 
and that we are three times the next largest science ratio some of our faculty 
wanted to say that it wasn't really that bad. WE are also supposed to have 14 
advisees (on the average). We have 34, 62, and 22 for the three respectively 
(the one with 22 advisees has a half-time appointment to faculty and half to 
administration). Hope that helps. :) Tim Shearon, ACI

Colleagues, As promised, here is the data I received regarding my 
inquiry about student:faculty ratios in Psycholgy departments. I do 
appreaciate the other advice I received, but only one list member 
actually provided a ratio.

Emory University    15:1

Colleagues, Our Dept. might be allowed to add a new faculty position 
to our psychology program next year, but we must document and justify 
our need for it. 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.
