Hey there! I'm trying to get a sense of how big the Illinois Institute of Technology is, so I was wondering if anyone knows the approximate enrollment figures? Also, are the class sizes generally small or large? Thanks!
Hello! Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) is a moderately-sized university in terms of enrollment. As of Fall 2023, there were approximately 3,000 undergraduate students and 3,800 graduate students enrolled, bringing the total enrollment to around 8,500. However, these numbers can fluctuate somewhat from year to year, so you might want to check the IIT website for more updated information when you're applying.
Regarding the class size, IIT has a student-to-faculty ratio of around 13:1, which is relatively low compared to large public universities. This means that you can expect smaller class sizes and more opportunities to interact with your professors on a personal level. Keep in mind, though, that this ratio is an average and can vary by department and course level. Introductory or popular courses may have larger class sizes, while upper-level or specialized courses tend to be smaller.
I hope this information helps you get a sense of the size and learning environment at Illinois Institute of Technology!
