2 to 1View note
The student-to-faculty ratio calculated here is not necessarily an accurate reflection of the student experience in UMDNJ programs. Over 50% of undergraduate students at UMDNJ are enrolled in programs jointly administered by UMDNJ and a partner institution, however faculty teach at one institution or the other which makes this calculation skewed.
