At Knox, your professors will have done more than just read a lot of books. In fact, there's a good chance that they've been the ones writing them—on topics ranging from women in twentieth-century Puerto Rico to the current-day psychology of our nation's consumer culture. During the past academic year, more than 60% of the faculty had work published, publicly performed or exhibited, or received grants or awards for their scholarly achievement. It's no surprise Knox's professors ranked #12 in the nation in Princeton Review's 2006 ranking of "Professors get High Marks." Books, Articles, Exhibits and Performances
