ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The task of compiling a comprehensive profile of an institution as complex as Ramapo College is, by
necessity, a group effort. No single office or Division can hope to house all of the information needed
to accomplish this task. We wish to thank all of those individuals from the Divisions of Academic
Affairs, Administration and Finance, Enrollment Management, Institutional Advancement, and Student
Affairs who provided valuable assistance in the preparation of the 2002 Institutional Profile.
We wish, too, to acknowledge all of those whose activities may not be obviously profiled in this
document, but who are contributing to student learning and development through their teaching,
research and creative expression, and service. We wish also to acknowledge those who contribute to
the well-being of the wider community through their public service activities. Though comprehensive,
the institutional profile can do no more than scratch the surface when it comes to capturing the totality
of teaching, learning, research, and service occurring on the campus. When you refer to the 2002
Institutional Profile we hope you will keep this always in mind.
PREFACE
The 2002 Institutional Profile is the 12th fact book produced at Ramapo College of New Jersey. As in
previous years, there are seven sections to the document. Section I contains general information
including a brief history of the College, the College mission statement, lists of Board members and
unit heads, and organization charts. Sections II and III contain admissions and enrollment data,
respectively. Both sections contain snapshots of Fall 2002 data and trend data covering five
consecutive Fall semesters (Fall 1998 to Fall 2002). Section IV contains data on degrees awarded
and student outcomes (e.g., retention and graduation rates). Again, both a snapshot of degrees
awarded during 2001-2002 and five-year trend data are included. Section V profiles the faculty and
instruction, while Section VI profiles student services. Finally, Section VII of the profile includes data
on administrative operations.
Student enrollment data used in this volume of the institutional profile come mainly from the
Registrar's frozen semester files. These files contain the official counts reported to the New Jersey
Commission on Higher Education (SURE enrollment file) and the United States Department of
Education (various IPEDS submissions). Degrees awarded data are official counts reported to the
Commission on the SURE degrees file prepared by this office.
As a general rule, percentage calculations are carried to one decimal place.
percentage totals may not always sum to exactly 100% due to rounding.
