• Academic Life
  • Q:   In what ways will I be challenged-- academically and socially?
  • A:   Since the average class size is 15 and student/faculty ratio is 12:1, Gustavus professors can monitor the success of individual students. Since our courses usually allow more discussion and personalized attention, they will engage and challenge each student-- whatever their background. Outside the classroom, Gustavus has over 110 student organizations and 50 campus events each week on average from which to choose. And, our students will be exposed to various cultures and different backgrounds to enrich their overall education.
