Ranked by U.S. News & World Report as fifth in the Best Regional Public Universities North category, Ramapo
College of New Jersey is sometimes mistaken for a private college. This is, in part, due to its unique
interdisciplinary academic structure, its size of approximately 6,000 students and its pastoral setting in the
foothills of the Ramapo Mountains on the New Jersey/New York border.
Established in 1969, Ramapo College offers bachelor's degrees in the arts, business, humanities, social sciences
and the sciences, as well as in professional studies, which include nursing and social work. In addition, Ramapo
College offers courses leading to teacher certification at the elementary and secondary levels. The College also
offers eight graduate programs as well as articulated programs with Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey,
New York Chiropractic College, New York University College of Dentistry, SUNY State College of Optometry and
New York College of Podiatric Medicine.
