Usually when we think of a professor, an image of an Albert Einstein look-alike comes to mind. Maybe he’s wearing a tweed suit, a bow tie, or bifocals. But with sites like Rate My Professor judging instructors on their hotness level as regularly as on their teaching skill, it’s no surprise that this image is becoming passé. There are a number of professors today who are adored by students for their teaching ability AND their personal style. The ladies we’ve chosen are part of this new class of professor. They are smart, driven women who excel in their field and look great while doing it.
1. Dr. Jean-Marie Dauplaise
School: University of Wisconsin - Stout
Department: English
Why she’s on our list: Dr. Dauplaise is a woman who is serious about her work, but also finds a way to look impeccable every day.
Students say: “Dr. Dauplaise is the best teacher that I have ever had. I have always hated English and she made it fun and interesting, and helped me learn a lot.”
2. Dr. Lesley Yoder
School: Boston University
Department: Languages
Why she’s on our list: Dr. Yoder has a simple, well-fitting style that any collegiette ™ could mirror.
Students say: “It's very unlike me to look forward to attending class, but somehow, Dr. Yoder did such a fantastic job putting together her curriculum and presenting it in extremely interesting ways, that I found myself looking forward to every class throughout the semester. Great class!”
Fun Fact: Dr. Yoder has been on the Rate My Professor list of hottest professors for six consecutive years!

Loving the comments. Reminds me why I chose business school over liberal arts (aside from getting a real job with real pay).
Being a liberal arts major has nothing to do with being a feminist. Get over yourself.
Reading these comments really helped a lot. Thank you. I was starting to go through a bit of buyers remorse about the career I had chosen. I have the credentials to teach at the University level, and my experience in my field makes me a good candidate for a post in academia. But when I read the comments here, I am thrilled that I can continue on my chosen path, away from the uptight overly sensitive opinionated and loud criticism of those not wishing to deny that some people may have more attractive qualities than others.
Oh, and for those of you who are the most offended and practically violent in your responses to this article? Congratulations on being ugly in a way that has nothing to do with physical appearance.
Well Said !!!! Icouldnt agree more.
People need to calm down. It was meant to be a fun article. Maybe if you professors weren't so up tight and liberal you would see that. It's the female professors like you who give female professors a negative outlook, not this article. If you notice, these professors are rated high in all areas of teaching. Please do not be bitter because your rankings in the academic areas are low. Loosen up.
Shame on you for publishing this waste of media space. If you were too lazy/ignorant to find 10 brilliant women doing great work in their fields and discuss their accomplishments, you should spend your time working for someone who makes a pin up nudie calendar, not critiquing the academic leaders in our country.
Did you get permission from these women to post this backwards article? Get this list off of your publication...you set us back decades with this disrespectful post.
As a woman who works in academia, I find this article to be offensive and sexist. You should be ashamed of yourself. Teachers should be rated on nothing more than their dedication to the research and intellectual stimulation they signed up for. Anything other than that disparages what my mother worked so hard to earn in the 60s and 70s. Instead of writing about hot women in the academy, how about you write something about how less women get tenure than men, or about how women in the US make, on average, 76 cents on the dollar, compared to what men make?
People who usually comment like this are ugly. Instead of being a hater, you should be proud that these women are not only pretty, but accomplished. They are good teachers who happen to be good looking, what's the big deal?
I am a woman professor who is still shocked at how much men dominate the college scene -- and how much of college students' time is dedicated to participating in meat-market culture that objectifies women.
What does the relative "hotness" of an instructor have to do with her ability to educate you and give you the tools you will need to become a leader in your field?
"HerCampus?" -- You are not for me and you are not for the women I educate.
I am not a feminist but as a woman and proud of it I do find this article offensive what the hang is being hot got to do with anything. Articles like that just fuel stupid comments from ignorant men who are still living in the 16th century. And most likely living alone because any real woman who is worth anything would not entertain this disgusting mentality. Get a life.
