Good research promotes great teaching.
In addition to teaching, our faculty at Lafayette dedicate a significant amount of time doing research in their fields. Our faculty are engaged in research and are in touch with breaking developments in their field. They include their material and discoveries in their classes which makes for more exciting and up-to-date courses that are a whole lot more interesting.
