Mentoring that Makes a Difference

It’s Way Bigger Than Small Class Sizes

Plenty of schools tout small “average” class sizes or favorable student-faculty ratios, only to corral hundreds of students into giant lecture halls with a TA leading the class.

At Canisius, we go deeper than our 11:1 student-faculty ratio, or the fact that our faculty teach 100% of classes. You’ll work with professors who are not only experts in their field but who also love to teach. Our faculty take the time to get to know you on a personal level, because they genuinely care about your growth – as a student, as a scholar and as a person.
