For the most part, students appear satisfied with their academic experience at Duquesne University. Professors make themselves available to the student body, and most will go out of their way to help their students. There are, of course, a few exceptions to this assessment, but they are generally few and far between. Duquesne offers a satisfactory student-to-professor ratio. This allows upper-level courses to get smaller as they move up in intensity. The academic experience is challenging, but fair. Many new students make the mistake of thinking that the courses here at Duquesne will be a breeze. However, after one or two semesters of hard work, reality begins to set in. Duquesne’s professors are extremely knowledgeable and expect students to put forth a strong effort into attendance and coursework. If a student chooses to do otherwise, he or she may struggle at this university. Students Speak Out

Our teachers amazing. We have some of the best teachers from all over the country. The workload is not huge depending on your major, but it can be really big. We have a great pharmacy school and business school. We have a lot of majors offered, which makes almost anyone able to find something they like here.

The teachers are varied, like at any other school. In nursing, the workload is a pretty decent amount. They love the law school here.

Professors are great! The classes are all pretty small, so they will know you on a first name basis. Also, they will go out of their way to help you with class work, and even finding internships and jobs. Most are very well connected with companies in Pittsburgh. |

Teachers are nice and informative, but not anal. If you don’t show up for class, they don’t care—but you really just cheat yourself. Some of them are very diverse. I had a professor from Egypt and another from Macedonia. |

Most of the teachers that I have are pretty great. They’re always willing to meet outside of class with anyone who needs extra help. Class sizes are pretty small, but it also depends on your major. The major concentration and core classes usually run anywhere from 25–50 students. So, the student-teacher ratio is pretty good. |
