Ramapo College of New Jersey

“Ramapo’s environmental studies program gave me the knowledge and preparation I needed for the real world. I now work for a company called Partner Engineering and Science.”

“My time spent at Ramapo College was invaluable in so many ways. The Law and Society staff inspired me and fueled my dreams of becoming a lawyer. The connections I made both professionally and personally helped me to attain all that I have. I owe a great deal of my personal growth to Ramapo College and will always cherish the amazing memories I built there.”

“While studying the two years in the MASE program, I was able to build new friendships that will last for years to come. The support of classmates, teachers and other staff members was incredible. I appreciate every moment of my Ramapo experience.”

“Ramapo had a monumental effect on the life that I have led since graduation.”

“I would not be anywhere close to the person I am today without Ramapo’s wonderful faculty and staff. We sometimes forget how important the professors, especially the adjuncts, are to helping us succeed. I want to thank all Ramapo employees from the bottom of my heart for making it the special place that it is.”

“The faculty in the Social Work department encouraged me through some of the most traumatic moments I endured while enrolled. They continued to support me and empowered me to complete my degree when I didn’t think I was capable to do so. I love and miss each of them dearly. Because of them, I am a confident social worker. Thank you to Professors Moreno, Cardacia Davis, Klein, Lorber, McEniry, Kim, McTighe, and Badawi.”

““If I had to choose all over again, Ramapo College would still be my first choice.””

““Ramapo College has driven me to succeed and has provided ample opportunities for growth.””

““Ramapo armed me with a versatile set of skills, thanks to the access it provided to the most amazing down-to-earth professors — I felt fully supported and encouraged to study anything that interested me creatively.””

““My team’s Capstone project for graduate school was extensive research and consultation with The Home Depot to help them increase kitchen product sales and corresponding installation orders on cabinetry, etc., and make a final presentation to the company on our findings. It was very beneficial to work with a large, profitable company such as The Home Depot. It was more than just a learning experience for me. It also provided important feedback and perspective for the company from an ‘outside’ consultant.””

“At Ramapo I gained a passion for learning that continues to serve me well every day. The college gave me the flexibility to explore my interests, encouraged me to take chances, and enabled me to grow intellectually, emotionally, personally, and professionally. I look back on my years at Ramapo with fondness, good memories, great friends (that I still have to this day), and gratitude for all that Ramapo has helped me to become.”

“In the fall of 2014, I participated in the CIEE London program with the University of Westminster. I lived with roommates of varying cultural backgrounds, including Italian, Spanish, German and American heritage. It was great getting to interact with people who came from so many different places. I got to explore all that London had to offer and through my classes I gained a whole new understanding of my field of study. Traveling to London was an experience that I will keep with me forever.”

“The interdisciplinary nature of the Environmental Studies program at Ramapo allowed me to define a career path that truly reflects my passion. Sustainability is an expansive field, and with the assistance of my engaged professors – with whom I still share a relationship – and a diverse course structure, I’ve channeled my interests into a meaningful profession. My Ramapo experience encouraged me to be a change agent and uphold my ‘save the world’ mantra.”

“My experience at Ramapo played a huge role in shaping the person I am today. Having the opportunity to earn my B.A. in Psychology, while also earning my Elementary Education certification, made me realize that working in mental health counseling with children was where I belonged. The course I took in Advanced Topics in Psychology, “Child Abuse and Neglect,” was a deciding factor in my choice to attend graduate school to earn a counseling degree. And studying abroad in Ireland helped me to build my independence and learn how to live outside my comfort zone.”

“The members of the Ramapo College film department (most notably professors Scott, Weinstock, Addington and Bressler) not only have encouraged my creativity throughout the years, but they also inspired it. As I continue to grow as a filmmaker, I will always hold their opinions with the highest regard, and I strive to make them proud with each future project.”

“Although Ramapo is a small school, it has played a large part in my success. From my classes, to my professors, to joining Delta Phi Epsilon, Ramapo College has helped to shape the person I am today.”

““When I graduated from Ramapo, I felt very confident in the next steps in my career – taking my boards and NCLEX exam, and starting my career as a nurse. I was completely confident because of my classes, professors, and the hands-on experiences I had with patients at Valley Hospital.””

“The application process for both my program and scholarships was straightforward, with plenty of support from Ramapo staff.”

“Thanks to Ramapo’s agreement with Deusto, both classes transferred back as electives, allowing me to avoid an extra semester.”

““The most important thing I learned while attending Ramapo was to stand out from the crowd. As a student, I was an active leader on campus, which helped me develop the confidence and skills needed to make my mark as a professional. My professors always encouraged me to excel in the classroom and to make the personal connections that would benefit my professional goals. My education at Ramapo certainly prepared me for the real world.””

“‘Doubts kill more dreams than failures ever will.’ Throughout Nursing school I never doubted myself and knew that nursing was what I wanted to do and everyone in the program gave me the support to make sure I became the best nurse that I could be. Nursing was not going to be easy and it required countless nights of late night studying and having to cancel plans with friends, but in the end it was all worth it. Ramapo not only made me the nurse I am today but it also made me a better person because of the professors, clinical instructors and the friends I made throughout the journey.”
