Engaged students share one thing in common: dynamic teachers who bring learning to life. For teaching to be alive with excitement, the faculty must maintain a passion for their subjects and their own thirst for knowledge. Berkeley faculty members are among the finest teachers in their areas, continuously enriching their own learning in a variety of ways. More than 70 percent of our faculty hold advanced degrees.
 
Teachers not only attend, but also conduct seminars and conferences. They regularly seek new avenues to explore and impart discoveries within their fields. The ultimate recipients of this level of experience are the students, who enjoy the rewards of such scholarly investigations in vibrant classroom discussions. Furthermore, Berkeley limits class size, so students receive one-on-one attention from these faculty members. Outside the classroom, our teachers offer extra assistance to ensure that academic inquiry results in knowledge gained and a life-long love of learning.
