Size

It's the people who give a college its personality, and at Puget Sound, you'll find an open, friendly community of 2,450 undergraduate students, 150 graduate students, and 212 full-time faculty.

An Expansive Scope

Puget Sound is a little larger than most of its peer liberal arts colleges. This means that our academic departments can cover a wider range of topics, and we can offer more than 1,200 courses in a single year. It also means that we draw students from across the United States, as well as other nations – students from nearly every state and 16 countries are represented on our campus. This wider reach makes it possible to recruit top faculty members who are teacher-scholars; they share strong commitments to teaching and are engaged in significant research and creative work. 

Our intimate size also provides the advantage of a low faculty/student ratio – 10.7: 1, with an average class size of 19 students. In this setting, you'll benefit from ample individualized attention.
