I2 Fall 2020 Student to Faculty ratio 14 to 1 41,514 students
2,887 faculty
Class Subsections: A class subsection includes any subsection of a course, such as laboratory, recitation, and discussion
subsections that are supplementary in nature and are scheduled to meet separately from the lecture portion of the course.
Undergraduate subsections are defined as any subsections of courses in which degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled for
credit. As above, exclude noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-
to-one readings. Each class subsection should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of cross-listings.
Using the above definitions, please report for each of the following class-size intervals the number of class sections and class
subsections offered in Fall 2020. For example, a lecture class with 800 students who met at another time in 40 separate labs with 20
students should be counted once in the “100+” column in the class section column and 40 times under the “20-29” column of the class
subsections table.
