About 37 percent of UC's faculty is in the health sciences (medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, optometry, public health and veterinary medicine).

Over one-fifth (22 percent) is in the STEM fields (life and physical sciences, technology, engineering and math).

Turnover of ladder-rank faculty with professorial appointments (a subset of those shown in the chart above) historically has averaged about 3 to 4 percent per year. A low turnover rate in the professorial faculty helps to promote stability in the distribution of faculty across disciplines since existing positions can only be reallocated when they become vacant. Growth in the total number of faculty generates new positions; this also can affect disciplinary balance, depending on how these new positions are allocated.
