Our faculty members—leaders in their fields—care deeply about the subjects they study and about the students they teach. They use their knowledge and skills to fuel your enthusiasm, teach you to think for yourself, and spark the learning you need to succeed. They engage in research, write definitive books, create works of art, and win major awards like the Nobel Prize. They bring the excitement of new ideas discovered through their research into the classroom.

Our world-class faculty is known for collaborating with others across the curriculum. They frequently design interdisciplinary programs and cross-school partnerships.

During or after class, our professors make a point of being approachable and accessible. You can also meet up with professors in research projects, one-on-one independent study, office conferences, and review sessions. And you get to know them in more relaxed settings outside the classroom—from field trips to sports to informal gatherings. Several faculty members, called Faculty Associates, pair with students on residential floors and participate in floor activities like the First Year Reading Program. There are also faculty members, called Faculty Fellows, who live with their families in residential colleges so they can interact easily with students.
