Hey everyone, I was curious about the average class size at Syracuse. I'm looking for a school with smaller classes where I can develop relationships with professors and classmates. Can anyone give me an idea of what to expect?
Hello! Syracuse University offers various class sizes depending on the specific course and department. In general, around 64% of the classes have fewer than 20 students, which allows for a more intimate and engaging learning environment. As you move into more specialized courses for your major, class sizes may even decrease further, allowing for even greater interaction with faculty and peers.
Do keep in mind that introductory or general education courses can have larger class sizes as they cater to a broader range of students across multiple majors. However, once you progress to upper-level coursework within your major, you'll have a higher likelihood of experiencing smaller class sizes that foster meaningful relationships with professors and classmates.
I hope this information helps in your decision-making process. Good luck!
