The lifeblood of any academic institution is its faculty. Among the more than 300 full-time faculty at Oswego are Fulbright scholars, noted researchers, gifted artists and writers, and winners of many different awards. Our faculty have earned research grants research from such agencies as NASA, the Smithsonian Institution and the National Science Foundation, to name just a few. Several have received SUNY Chancellor’s recognition for outstanding research contributions. Students benefit from daily contact with these scholars, who often share their research interests with them.

Faculty actively engage in scholarly and creative activities with colleagues and students. See our Research News section for examples of the many exciting projects, collaborations and achievements among members of the campus community.

Our faculty strive for quality classroom instruction and individual attention whenever possible. The State University of New York system has honored many Oswego professors for excellence in teaching. The effective student-faculty ratio is 20:1. About 75 percent of the full-time teaching faculty holds doctoral degrees or the terminal degree in their fields.
