MAHWAH, N.J. – Ramapo College’s commitment to providing a bold and innovative approach to learning, as well as the quality and value of a liberal arts education, have been acknowledged through numerous rankings, awards and accolades from some of the most prestigious ranking organizations in the country.

“Through the liberal arts, our College equips and empowers our students to innovatively solve the problems of tomorrow. Our graduates are ethical change agents who build and lead diverse teams that anticipate and address challenges across all sectors,” said President Cindy Jebb, who joined the state college in July 2021. “And Ramapo’s record is nothing short of amazing on these fronts as recognized by the range of organizations and entities that have directed their praise to our mission, our outcomes, and, most importantly to our more than 40,000 diverse alumni whose range of successes continue to impress.”

Ramapo College remains a top institution in the Best Regional Public Universities, as determined by the 2022 U.S. News & World Report, and once again earned a Top 10 ranking as a Top Public School in the region. Most notable this year was Ramapo’s first-time listing as an Innovative School, which honors innovative improvements in terms of curriculum, faculty, students, campus life, technology or facilities, based on nominations by college presidents, provosts, and deans.

Ramapo College was also again recognized for its commitment to Veteran students.  The College placed 10^th for Best Colleges for Veteran Students by US News and was once again recognized as a “Military Friendly School” by Victory Media, in the Guide to Military Friendly Schools. “I know first-hand the importance and mutual benefit of engaging veteran students in collegiate life,” said Jebb, who recently retired after 39 years of military service, “Ramapo’s faculty and staff also connect to that importance and have built and cultivated a supportive and service-oriented environment for our veteran students.”

Ramapo again has been named among the top three (after Princeton and Stevens Institute of Technology) and Number One among the public institutions in New Jersey in College Choice’s ranking. https://www.collegechoice.net/rankings/best-colleges-in-new-jersey/
