MAHWAH, N.J. — Ramapo College was recognized as a Public College of Distinction in the organization’s 2015 report.

Colleges of Distinction is a college guide that assesses state colleges and universities in several categories, including student engagement, faculty competencies, vibrant campus and community activities and successful outcomes. Other criteria for recognition include a wider course selection, innovative curricula, individualized attention in the classroom and affordability.

According to the report, colleges that are recognized are public schools that provide a “private college feeling.”  The report added: “Our Public Colleges of Distinction prove the traditional stereotypes of large universities wrong. All of our Public Colleges of Distinction feature smaller class sizes, enlist faculty that are more attentive to individual students and excel at getting students ready for the job market or graduate programs.”

“We are proud to be recognized again this year,” said Christopher Romano, vice president of enrollment management and student affairs. “It is a validation of the experience our students have at Ramapo College. Our faculty are dedicated teachers who are committed to mentoring, and our students work closely with them in and outside the classroom to enhance their learning and prepare for their future.”
