Academic Life: Faculty
One of the University's greatest assets is gifted, dedicated teachers. Professors are selected for their scholarly accomplishments as well as their enthusiasm for teaching undergraduates. Wake Forest's faculty is committed to the teacher-scholar ideal of teaching and learning, and of professors sharing what they learn with their students. Because the faculty is active in research, students have the opportunity to participate in meaningful research that will advance their own knowledge and careers.
With a full-time faculty of about 400, approximately 89 percent of whom hold the terminal degree in their field, Wake Forest maintains its high academic standards by assuring that undergraduate classes, lectures and seminars are taught by faculty members, not teaching assistants. Student-faculty interaction is an essential element in the learning environment. Small classes, a low student/faculty ratio, regular faculty office hours, and opportunities for interaction outside the classroom provide the attention and intellectual stimulation for which students choose Wake Forest.
