A Remarkable

ENERGY

When I was shopping for colleges, everyone told me that I’d get a special feeling when I toured the school I was meant to attend.

Honestly, I thought that was silly. I visited several schools and never had “the feeling”… until I visited Ramapo.

At that point, I’d already filled out my acceptance paperwork for another top school. The check was literally written but not yet in the mail when a friend suggested I visit Ramapo. From the moment I walked on campus, I knew this was the place for me. Still, I never imagined I’d be on a first-name basis with the president of the college, much less have dinner at his house. But that’s the kind of place Ramapo is.

To say that the environment here is energizing is a bit of an understatement.

I was just a typical college-bound girl — a good student from a fairly sheltered background. But Ramapo has opened my eyes to how diverse the world is and the incredible opportunities out there. Between classes, homework, student government, lacrosse, sorority life, and peer facilitating, I’m going strong from nine in the morning until well past midnight.

My younger brother Alex is a freshman here now. The other day he joked that he did my parents a big favor when he followed me to Ramapo—they only have one place to go when they visit their kids at college. But he added, “I did myself a big favor, too. With an average class size of 23, I’m getting exactly the learning experience I want in college.”

Don’t just take our word for it

U.S. News and World Report’s America’s Best Colleges has ranked Ramapo as a top pick among universities-master’s in the north.

Ramapo ranks fourth among public colleges/universities in this category.

Criteria include rates of retention and graduation, class size, student/ faculty ratio, and student selectivity.

The Best Northeastern Colleges by The Princeton Review puts Ramapo on the list. Selection is based on student reports about the standard of teaching, accessibility of professors, the quality of life on campus (including food, housing, social scene, and extracurriculars), academic load, and financial aid process.

Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine ranks Ramapo one of the “100 Best Values in Public Colleges” (three years running). Ramapo moved up 17 spots from August 2009 to September 2010.

The John Templeton Foundation has recognized Ramapo for its emphasis on service learning and student leadership, naming it one of America’s character-building colleges. Ramapo is the only college in New Jersey to be honored with this “best” distinction.

Bringing it all together

Five schools, 35 majors, 30 minors, and more than 700 regular course offerings. Our distinct interdisciplinary structure comprises degree programs in the arts, sciences, humanities, business, and social sciences.

Professional and master’s degree studies include teacher education, educational technology, nursing, liberal arts, and social work. We also have joint degree programs and articulation agreements with other institutions leading to advanced study in several areas of medicine and dentistry.

It all adds up

Ramapo’s numbers help explain its dynamic atmosphere.

Students come from 42 nations, 18 states and every county in NJ Freshmen rank in the top 20% of their graduating class with GPAs averaging 3.4 48% of applicants are admitted, and the average SAT score is 1165 (combined critical reading and math) 95% of Ramapo’s faculty members have doctorates or other terminal degrees An average class size of 23 students A student/faculty ratio of 18:1

{synergy “ One of the great things at Ramapo is that, even in your first year, you learn from the best. Our senior faculty teach freshman-level classes with the same fervor they apply to their research and publications.”

chances More to

EXCEL

When my brother transferred to Ramapo, I decided to give it a look. I was amazed to find so many strong programs. A lot of colleges have only one or two strengths, but all of Ramapo’s five schools are excellent. Narrowing down my options was tough, but the intimate environment and the opportunity to work one-on-one with top faculty really helped me zero in on what I was most excited about — media and cinema studies.

And being a commuter doesn’t make me any less a part of the Ramapo community. I receive just as much support and attention from faculty as the students who live on campus. As a result, I’ve been able to complete some significant research. I’ve even been invited to present my findings at industry conventions — an incredible opportunity for an undergraduate.

Bottom line: when you apply yourself here, you get noticed. You have more chances to stand out and excel than you’ll find at a larger school. I’m very thankful I ended up at Ramapo.

With message boards, chat rooms, and other online tools, we can respond directly to the questions and concerns of our students.

Green space

Growing the campus

The new Sharp Sustainability Education Center is a 360˚ showcase for green practices. It demonstrates the concept of green building by making the best use of orientation, natural daylight and natural ventilation, while using recycled and environmentally-friendly materials, reducing water consumption through fixture choice and collection of rainwater for irrigation. Heating and cooling are provided via a geothermal system, with electricity produced from roof-mounted photovoltaic panels to reduce heating and cooling loads. The design allows for future installation of a greenhouse, a windmill, an organic garden, an outdoor classroom and attached trellis structures to provide additional electric power.

Our 300-acre campus houses more than 1 million square feet of opportunities. Recent additions:

Bus stop buzz

It’s not every day that you meet the president of your college at the bus stop. Unless you’re a Ramapo student, that is, for President Peter Mercer often stops en route to the office in the morning to chat with students. “Students who have an internship in New York City can take the bus from our campus in the morning and be there on time for work,” Mercer says. “That’s an extraordinary advantage. I check to see who’s at the bus stop so I can chat them up and find out what they’re up to. It’s one of the ways I can track how our internship programs are working.”

TOTAL Immersion I guess you could call me driven. Which is probably a good thing given that I want to be an actor. You have to be totally immersed in it to succeed. And Ramapo is the ideal environment for immersion.

With four major theater productions a year, guest artist workshops, and student-directed projects, there’s plenty for an actor to dive into on campus.

It’s a very inspiring environment. We’re all passionate about our pursuits, and we push each other to go beyond what we consider to be our potential.

We’re immersed in each other’s lives, too. Professors, students, and administrators are as committed to helping each other grow as they are to doing their own best work. My closest friends are the people I’ve met at Ramapo, so even though my family lives nearby, I spend as many weekends as possible on campus.

There’s no doubt that being at Ramapo has changed me. It has both tested me and supported me in ways I never imagined. I’ve learned to go with the flow and to never give in to failure. And I know that nothing can stop me as long as I’m doing what I love.

Interdisciplinary curriculum Each of Ramapo’s five schools brings together faculty from several disciplines resulting in cross-disciplinary research and interdisciplinary majors and courses like Ecology, Economics, and Ethics.

Experiential learning opportunities Every course includes a real-world learning component. In Urban Anthropology, for example, students take to the streets of New York to reconcile the stereotypical images of the city with its realities.

Intercultural understanding Our annual Diversity Convocation— which recently featured Dr. Terrence Roberts, Congressional Gold Medal winner and a member of the Little Rock Nine—is one of the ways we engage the community in the challenging debates of our times.

International education As a member of the New Jersey State Consortium for International Education, we can place our students in more than 50 countries around the world for short-term, summer, and semester-long study.

Uncommon common causes

The Sci-Fi Comic Book Club, Colleges Against Cancer, Operation Smile, Rebel U, Ebony Women for Social Change. If Ramapo doesn’t already have a student organization that speaks to your passion—and with more than 100 clubs, committees, and caucuses, we generate a whole lot of passion—you’ll find it easy to start one that fills the gap.

Equipped to make an

IMPACT As a student of history, I’m impressed by Ramapo’s upward trajectory. In just 41 years, the College has achieved a level of quality comparable to 200-year-old institutions. The “Ivy quotient” is quite high among my professors.

Research, instruction, and interdisciplinary study are all exceptional.

Ramapo’s College Honors Program is a perfect example of what I’m talking about. The program allows me to dig deeper into my favorite topics and complete special projects or research. It’s also a measurable way to set myself apart from the competition on grad school applications.

I was intensely focused on my academic goals when I came to Ramapo, but being here has opened my eyes to a much broader view of the world. I’m constantly discovering something new that I want to integrate into my life. Ramapo has taught me the value of becoming a well-rounded person—a person who is excited and equipped to make an impact in the world.

When I’m leading a campus tour and I mention our standing as one of the top public colleges in the region, students immediately start worrying about their SAT scores. But I always remind people that while our academic standards are high, Ramapo admits students as much for what they bring to the community as for their strong academic background. Ramapo values each of us as a scholar and as a human being and provides the knowledge, resources, and mentoring to ensure our success.

The school that never sleeps

You can expand your mind, your heart, or your lungs, without ever leaving campus. Ramapo is the scene of multiple performances, lectures, exhibitions, screenings, and games every day of the week.

A spectrum of live performances such as Brazilian jazz bassist Nilson Matta, American Dance Theater, Pulitzer prize-winning poet Natasha Trethewey, alt-rockers Jack’s Mannequin, Beckett, and Shakespeare.

Movies, screenings of award-winning faculty films, and a wide variety of festivals that include Japanese anime, Africana, and Italian cinema.

Finding your

BALANCE

There’s a special mix of intimacy, energy, and expertise here that encourages discussion of all perspectives, regardless of whether anyone else agrees. I consider this intellectual freedom, this immersion in the world of ideas, essential preparation for a career in international business. The environment at Ramapo, while competitive, is extremely learning focused.

The business faculty publishes regularly across a range of disciplines— management, accounting, economics, international business, finance, marketing, and information systems. They also know how to get things done in the real world. Many have worked in enterprises around the globe and bring us into constant contact with emerging trends and best practices.

What really sets Ramapo apart for me is how it combines a competitive standard of excellence with a limitless commitment to growth and learning. In just three semesters, I’ve had the opportunity to work as a financial analyst and conduct research into the sub-prime mortgage market. But I’ve also had the chance to find out more about myself. In the final analysis, Ramapo strikes just the right balance in helping me reach my full potential.
