Number of Students in a Class
Ìý
The number of students per class differs depending on the type of course. This is meant to ensure the effective use of the ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥â€™s classroom space, while at the same time not adversely affecting the quality of instruction. As a general rule the numbers are:
- 15-25 students for general education courses
- 10-18 students for required courses within programs
- 10-15 students for language courses
This rule does not apply to sports and individual music courses.
The number of students auditing a course is not taken into account when calculating the number of students in that course.
Exceptions to the minimum course sizes may be made when a given course is required of upper- division students to complete their major.
