At SUNY Oswego we have about 425 majors
Faculty
Social - 3 (including 1 health)
Development - 6 (We have 2 additional developmentalists who are psych
faculty but are full time administrators)
Experimental
Biopsych - 1
Learning / motivation - 2
Perception - 1
Cognition / human factors - 1
Language - 1
Clinical / Community 3
We have 1 part time and 1 adjunct and tried to hire another part time but
were unsuccessful
We have a very large research project that has a director who also teaches
one class a semester. He is not considered psych faculty
And finally our department chair, advisement coordinator and internship
coordinator all have some degree of teaching reduction as to some faculty
with research grants (3)
There are about 7000 undergraduates and 250 faculty at Oswego
Our undergraduate methods course is 4 credits, 3 hrs lecture 2 hrs lab.
Enrollment cap is 24. Our upper division experimental courses (learning,
perception, motivation, biopsych and cognition) are the same
Hope this helps

Subject: dept. question: majors to faculty ratio
Hi Tipsters - We're revising our curriculum, and I have a couple of
questions I'd like to ask about your departments:
1) Approximately how many majors do you have in your department?
2) How many full time faculty do you currently have, and what area of
psychology (e.g., social, clinical, human experimental, etc.) are
they in? How many part-time or adjunct faculty do you have?
3) What is the ratio university wide of faculty to students (please
give total undergraduate enrollment and total full time faculty if
you know it also)
4) What do you feel is an appropriate cap or limit on enrollment in
research methods (fyi, we have a 3 hour course with a 3 hour lab, and
1 undergrad lab assistant)?
Thanks. I will summarize the results and post them to Tipsters later.
Cheers,
Traci
