GEOS Student/Faculty Ratios

These graphs relate to graduate student advising. The big picture is that faculty have three kinds of advising loads: (1) honors, (2) Masters and (3) PhD. 

Figure 1. Number of graduate students per faculty member. An important graph that shows the average number of graduate students each faculty member must advise to avoid stranding students without an advisor.
