Mandl School-The College of Allied Health Academic Characteristics - Ask

The ratio of FTE students to FTE instructional staff, i.e., students divided by staff.

Students enrolled in 'stand-alone' graduate or professional programs and instructional staff teaching in these programs are excluded from both full-time and part-time counts.

'Stand-alone' graduate or professional programs are those programs such as medicine, law, veterinary, dentistry, social work, or public health, in which faculty teach virtually only graduate-level students (also referred to as 'independent' programs).

Each FTE value is equal to the number of full-time students/staff plus 1/3 the number of part-time students/staff.
