Hi everyone! I'm trying to gather some information about UCF and one aspect I'm really interested in is the student-teacher ratio. Can someone tell me what the ratio is, and if you're a current student, how it has affected your experience? Thanks!
The student-teacher ratio at the University of Central Florida (UCF) is around 30:1. This ratio may vary slightly by department, but it gives you a general idea of class sizes at UCF.
As for how this ratio affects the student experience, many students find that while there are larger class sizes for general education courses and introductory-level classes, the size usually decreases as you progress through more advanced, major-specific courses. This allows students to receive more personalized attention from professors and engage in discussions more easily.
In larger classes, it can be helpful to attend professors' office hours, where you have the opportunity to ask questions and receive guidance in a smaller setting. Additionally, forming or joining study groups and getting to know your classmates can also be beneficial for succeeding in those larger classes. Despite the 30:1 student-teacher ratio, many students feel supported by faculty and can still build strong relationships with their professors at UCF.
