UC's average student-faculty ratio, according to data provided to the National Center for Education Statistics, is about the same as the average for other AAU public institutions.

The student-faculty ratio can reflect resources available for instruction and the average availability of faculty members to every student. The ratio presented here is an aggregate measure for the entire institution. It varies considerably, as will a student's experience of it, by instructional level (lower-division, upper-division, and graduate) and by degree and major.

Student-faculty ratios are strongly influenced by an institution's financial resources and the size of its graduate programs. Graduate programs are influential because their small class sizes bring down an institution's student-faculty ratio. The average AAU private institution has about 52 percent graduate students, the average non-UC AAU public institution has 27 percent, while UC has about 22 percent.
