Indicator 7.8
Student-Faculty Ratios, 2002-03 to 2007-08
The student faculty ratios reported here are computed by dividing full-year campus FTE student enrollment by estimated campus FTE faculty. The computations exclude health sciences faculty and enrollments.
The National Center for Education Statistics is currently developing a national standard for computing student-faculty ratios. When the standard is available, UC will be able to provide data comparing student-faculty ratios across institutions.

FTE refers to “full-time equivalent,” which is a standard unit of measurement for counting employees and students. For example, a full-time employee (or full-time student) constitutes 1.0 FTE; a half-time employee (or half-time student) constitutes .5 FTE. Two employees each working half-time (or two half-time students) together constitute 1.0 FTE.
