Abstract: Let $ G$ be a finite group of order $ n$ and $ V$ a simple $ \mathbb{C}[G]$-module of dimension $ d$. For some nonnegative number $ e$, we have $ n=d(d+e)$. If $ e$ is small, then the character of $ V$ has unusually large degree. We fix $ e$ and attempt to classify such groups. For $ e \leq 3$ we give a complete classification. For any other fixed $ e$ we show that there are only finitely many examples.
