About This Campus
THE COLLEGE: Established in 1969, New Jersey's public liberal arts college continues to be one of the champions of a liberal arts education in the United States today providing students with over 60 undergraduate major and concentration options. Under their new banner of "Pushing Boundaries," Ramapo College offers students a wide variety of experiential and cooperative educational opportunities, providing students with an educational experience that goes well beyond the classroom. As a member of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC), Ramapo College offers its students unique opportunities such as presenting research at academic conferences and a greater exchange of ideas with other students and faculty at other liberal arts colleges.Location Information
LOCATION: Set on 300 wooded acres at the foothills of Bergen County's Ramapo Mountains in northern New Jersey, the Ramapo College campus boasts a magnificent setting amid towering trees and broad stretches of lawn. Although the College is situated in an estate-style setting, it is located in a large metropolitan region, within a few miles of ski slopes, a short drive from the Jersey shore, close to numerous shopping malls, and only 25 miles from New York City.Helpful Information
Unless you have a car, commuting to Ramapo College will be extremely difficult as we do not have access to mainstream public transportation.Campus Links
