Promotion of the quality of education and increasing students’ educational achievements are the most important goals of every university. Among many factors affecting students’ educational achievement, out-of-classroom informal interactions between students and faculty members have been studied by many researchers. Almost all of the researches in this area believe these interactions are beneficial both for the engaged actors and the university. In the present study, the differences between the student-faculty member interactions in two faculties (Humanities and Engineering) in a large State university in Iran are studied. The data was gathered from a survey on a representative sample including 300 students. The results show that in the faculty of humanities, there are more frequent student-faculty member interactions compared to the other faculty, while student-student interactions are more frequent in the faculty of engineering. The causal model for explaining students’ educational achievement are the same for both faculties and in both of them weak and strong ties with faculty members and also satisfaction with evaluation have positive effects on students’ educational achievements.
