A quality education comes from high quality faculty. Of the 133 full-time faculty members, 74% have doctoral degrees. Many are entrepreneurs, who have started businesses in the field they teach. In fact, faculty members average seven years practical experience in their field before joining our faculty.
With a low student-to-faculty ratio (14-to-1), faculty members have the time to provide students individual attention. Faculty (and staff) take part in the freshman mentoring program to help new students adjust to the rigors of MSOE as well as being away from home for the first time. This mentoring isn't available at many larger universities where classes are taught by graduate students or teaching assistants (which MSOE doesn't use.) All classes are taught by professors.
The environment for MSOE faculty is much different than that of most universities. Primary value is placed on teaching and faculty are here because they want to teach above all else.
At MSOE, being a professor is more than a career, it's a lifestyle.
