Faculty

Saint Katherine College faculty members are the scholars leading the College’s academic achievements in teaching, research, and service. In addition to teaching in their respective areas of expertise, many of our faculty members are crossing traditional disciplinary divides to tackle some of society’s most complex problems. They also look for ways to engage with students outside the classroom—whether by collaborating on a research project or simply mingling over lunch. Faculty members have an average teaching experience of over 15 years; and, all classes are taught by faculty who have earned terminal degrees in their academic field. Outstanding faculty will continue to be added to the College to further strengthen our academic offerings and to maintain our student:faculty ratio at 10:1 or lower.
