In 2008-09, only 3 percent of all lower-division credit hours were earned in a course taught by faculty with fewer than 50 students. For upper-division and graduate students, 21 and 73 percent of all credit hours, respectively, were earned in such classes.

Student credit hours can be used to get a sense of the size of classes taught by Senate faculty. Lower-division instruction is generally characterized by larger lecture classes populated by students fulfilling general education requirements and introductory courses for majors. For upper-division undergraduates, students' contact with Senate faculty is fairly evenly distributed across classes of all sizes. Graduate academic students are almost uniformly taught by Senate faculty in classes with fewer than 50 students.
