Ramapo Facts Established in 1969, Ramapo College offers bachelor’s degrees in the arts, business, humanities, social sciences and the sciences, as well as in professional studies, which include nursing and social work. In addition, Ramapo College offers courses leading to teacher certification at the elementary and secondary levels. The College also offers three graduate programs as well as articulated programs with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, New York Chiropractic College, New York University College of Dentistry, SUNY State College of Optometry and New York College of Podiatric Medicine. Undergraduate students choose to concentrate their studies in one of five schools with more than 700 course offerings and 40 academic programs. Ramapo College boasts an average student/faculty ratio of 18:1 and average class size of 23, affording students the opportunity to develop close ties to the College’s exceptional faculty.

The College’s mission is focused on the four “pillars” of a Ramapo education: international, intercultural, interdisciplinary and experiential, all of which are incorporated throughout the curriculum and extracurriculum. The international mission is further accomplished through a wide range of study abroad and student exchange links with institutions all over the world through the New Jersey State Consortium for International Studies (NJSCIS). Additional experiential programs include internships, co-op and service learning. A campus-wide building program during recent years has resulted in the completion of the Anisfield School of Business academic facility, a central feature of the main entrance to the campus; the Bill Bradley Sports and Recreation Center, with its 2,200-seat arena, fitness center, climbing wall, track and dance/aerobics studio; the Overlook and Laurel residence halls and the Village apartment complex. The Angelica and Russ Berrie

Center for Performing and Visual Arts, completed in 1999, houses performance theaters, art galleries and specialized spaces devoted to fine arts, computer art, photography, theater, dance and music. The Sharp Sustainability Education Center is scheduled for completion by Fall 2009. The Salameno Spiritual Center will be completed by 2009.

In addition to Ramapo’s ranking in U.S. News, the College recently was recognized by two national publications. An article in the December 2008 issue of Kiplinger’s magazine named Ramapo College among the top 100 public colleges and universities. Ramapo College also is one of 212 institutions recommended by The Princeton Review in the "Best in the Northeast" section in the 2009 edition of The Best Northeastern Colleges.

Dr. Peter Philip Mercer became the College’s fourth president on July 1, 2005. The College is governed by a Board of Trustees who are appointed by the Governor of the State. The Reverend Dr. Vernon C. Walton is the chairman of the board.

RAMAPO FACTS

Ranked by U.S. News & World Report as fifth in the north in the Top Public Universities-Master’s category, Ramapo College of New Jersey is sometimes mistaken for a private college. This is, in part, due to its unique interdisciplinary academic structure, its size of more than 5,800 students and its pastoral setting in the foothills of the Ramapo Mountains on the New Jersey/New York border.

Business School – In 2005, the faculty and administration of Ramapo College’s Anisfield School of Business committed themselves and the school to the task of attaining accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

Through our varied offerings (in Anthropology, American Studies, Foreign Languages, History, International Studies, Literature, Political Science, Liberal Studies (Pending State Approval), and Philosophy), we seek to enhance students’ understanding and appreciation of the complex cultural, political, and imaginative dimensions of human existence. Our teaching, service, and scholarly or creative achievements combine to help our students develop their powers of reasoning, speaking, writing, and creativity, thus equipping them for the challenges of contemporary life. The School’s faculty members are dedicated to teaching and scholarship, have traveled extensively and studied abroad, and have backgrounds in foreign languages, humanities and social sciences. A program of visiting professors from around the globe, including China, Italy, Morocco, Spain, and Russia, enhances the international component of the School.

The School offers internships, fieldwork, service learning, and Co-op experiences through the College’s Cahill Center for Career Services and Experiential Learning. The College maintains faculty exchange programs with institutions in China, Russia, and Ghana, and offers its own study abroad program in India. Students are encouraged to take advantage of study abroad opportunities in numerous countries throughout the world that are offered by New Jersey State Consortium for International Studies (NJSCIS).

The School of Contemporary Arts The School of Contemporary Arts provides an understanding of the established traditions in the Fine Arts and Communication Arts while simultaneously preparing students to embrace new means of expression. The School, which is inherently interdisciplinary in its structure and its goals, recognizes the interconnectedness of the arts in contemporary society, and encourages students to develop and communicate ideas in multiple media. Excellent instruction in the visual, communication, theatrical, and musical arts takes place in small studio, lab, seminar, and discussion settings, as well as through activities outside the classroom environment. Practical experience, public presentation, and reflection are integrated into the educational process in many ways, such as through Internships and Co-op learning assignments, play production, musical performance and recording, visual arts production and exhibition, and the production and viewing of video, film, and design. The School’s faculty are dedicated teachers, nationally known for their artistic and professional achievements and scholarly work. In addition to the fulltime faculty, the school has attracted many working artists and media professionals to teach as adjunct faculty, serve as guest directors and designers, and to inspire our students as artists in residence. The School of Contemporary Arts offers five majors: Communication Arts, Music, Theater, Visual Arts, and the Contemporary Arts Contract Major (an interdisciplinary major that enables students to develop individualized programs that correspond to their special interests and career goals).

The School of Social Science and Human Services The School of Social Science and Human Services (SSHS) offers a rich and varied curriculum with wellprepared courses and plenty of opportunities for fieldwork and experiential learning. Our educational philosophy is based on the following set of core values about education and life.

www.ramapo.edu

Social awareness and insight is enhanced, and manifested, in our willingness to give back to our respective communities, as students, as educators, as human beings. Positive societal transformation occurs to the extent that an informed citizenry cares and becomes actively involved. The School of Social Science and Human Services tries to foster such convictions through, among other things, fieldwork, Co-op, service learning and volunteer opportunities as well as first-rate classroom preparation.

Learning does not merely take place in the classroom. At least as important as listening to professors lecturing, are the direct “life experiences” each one of us has in our respective communities, provided these are accompanied by proper guidance and reflection. Again, this is the object of guided fieldwork, service learning, Co-op and independent study experiences, all of which are essential elements in the overall education offered in our school. In the 21st century, technology is bringing the people of the world increasingly closer to each other. More than ever in human history this century forces us to tackle issues of cultural and experiential diversity, as well as the ecological interdependency that these developments bring. This will require ever greater sensitivity to and understanding of the varieties of human sensibility and experience, within as well as outside our own culture. Students affiliated with the School of Social Sciences and Human Services will be exposed to insightful analyses of prevailing societal patterns that impede cultural reconciliation and insight, such as divisions based on race, gender, disability, social class, national origin and differing cultural backgrounds. They will learn to critically read and incisively evaluate the great number of social science facts and information provided by the

major media, through courses in social issues and scientific methodology as well as through practical experiences that foster social, psychological, statistical and ecological literacy.

For additional information on The School of Social Science and Human Services visit our web site at: http://ww2.ramapo.edu/sshs/

The School of Theoretical and Applied Science The School of Theoretical and Applied Science has been a distinct and incorporate part of Ramapo College since it admitted its first class in 1971. Since its inception, The School of Theoretical and Applied Science has been committed to excellence in teaching, research, and public service in the sciences and mathematics, and has sought to prepare its graduates not only for professional and academic careers but to be scientifically literate citizens and lifetime learners in an increasing complex and ever changing technological culture.

The School’s curricula are comprehensive, including those designed to promote scientific and mathematical understanding among non-science students at the College. The School of Theoretical and Applied Science offers 12 undergraduate and graduate programs structured to meet the requirements of national accreditation standards as well as the needs of the contemporary marketplace and community. All students learn the sciences and mathematics in depth from multidisciplinary perspectives and within the contexts of the liberal arts and of global understanding. The School of Theoretical and Applied Science places a strong emphasis on teaching, practice, and public service. It encourages faculty/student collaborative research as a continuing course of study. Its faculty and graduates continue to serve as rich resources to governmental agencies, academic institutions, and private research facilities to promote the public good and educational excellence.

THE 5 SCHOOLS

To understand the complex worlds of people, at the level of individuals, small groups or whole societies or civilizations, it is imperative to have a sound historical grounding. History informs us how things came to be and, by implication, what constraints we face in trying to effect social change. Among the requirements for a Social Science and Human Services degree are introductory and upper level courses designed to mold historically and socially informed graduates.

PROGRAMS

Program 1: Writing / Film / French and More

(3-Credit Option) Three weeks: July 6-24 For entering Juniors, Seniors and graduating Seniors

The School of American and International Studies at Ramapo College of New Jersey offers summer programs appropriate for high school sophomores entering their junior year, juniors entering their senior year and graduating seniors. The six courses offered provide hands-on experience supplemented by lectures,

seminars, and Wednesday field trips to New York City, all under the direction of faculty and professional staff of the School.

Students may select one course from the Morning and/or one course from the Afternoon and elect to enroll in the course(s) for college credit or non-credit.

Morning Courses Introduction to Poetry The need to express ongoing experiences, feelings and thoughts is part of our present culture. The course approaches poetry as if students have never studied it previously and examines ways to form a sensitive response. Poetry is explored on many levels from the literal to the symbolic to gain an understanding of what makes several interpretations of a poem possible. The readings blend voices from various literary periods. Multicultural poetic voices share perceptions of the world beyond our personal experiences. The course develops a sense of what poetry is about, what happens in the poem, and explores the quality called “poetic”.

French Language and Culture French Language and Francophone Culture is designed for students who have already completed two or more years of high school French. In this course, students have opportunities to read, write, listen, and speak in French, and are introduced to materials from throughout the French-speaking world. We give special attention to the francophone cultures geographically closest to us, in Canada, Louisiana, and the Caribbean. Particular consideration is given to Cajun and zydeco music, Creole texts from New Orleans, and songs, poetry, and short texts from the province of Quebec.

Cultural Enrichment and Literacy Students are introduced to cultural literacy in the arts and to a different cultural literacy—world and domestic news. This course addresses this basic question: What minimum knowledge should graduating high school students know about the arts, science, and world events? Through field trips to cultural centers, students gain an appreciation of traditional and modern influences. A subscription to The New York Times prompts discussion and an appreciation of global and domestic events and in the world of science. The Times is an excellent vehicle for awareness and develops critical reading skills. The course requires writing a number of reaction papers.

PRE-COLLEGE COURSES

The Pre-College Experience at Ramapo College, Summer 2009 For High School Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, and graduating Seniors!

PRE-COLLEGE COURSES

Pre-College Courses Afternoon Courses Yoga Theory & Practice This course introduces students to the philosophies of ancient India that led to the development of the practice of yoga. By reading texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and The Upanishads, students will become familiar with the theories that led to later writings: The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. The class will engage in short yoga practices in order to illustrate the theories described in the texts. Students in this class become familiar with some of the sacred and secular texts of ancient India as well as contemporary commentary on yoga. Reading these texts involves some instruction in the Sanskrit language, which some scholars say is the root of many modern Western languages. The class traces the development of various traditions of yoga, from Hatha to Bikram, sacred to secular. Students respond to the discussions with short papers using primary sources. Film and Literature This class examines the treatment of narrative as practiced in both literature and film. The relationship between the two forms and narrative devices and techniques are explored. Specifically, the works are drawn from the Golden Age of Hollywood and related works of world cinema. Students will see how some well-loved genres (comedy, gothic horror, the thriller, the western) have been transformed by world cinema. The writing assignments focus on the expression of ideas, fully and clearly. Student writing should improve by the end of the semester. In writing literary analysis papers, students learn to use the MLA (Modern Language Association) format.

Non-fiction Narrative Writing Non-fiction narrative writing (NFNW) can be described as literary journalism, literary nonfiction, narrative nonfiction, or narrative journalism. Almost always, the writer, is a part (if not the central part) of this piece of writing. This course concentrates on personal essays, memoir, and literary journalism. A variety of exercises—reading and writing assignments, and the active participation in the workshop aspect of the course—give the student the structure to work creatively and improve writing in a forum used by professional writers. NFNW is not an academic piece of writing, not scholarship, nor a research paper, though it may indeed involve research on the student’s part. It is creative, although it is factual. The writer and the writer’s reactions are clearly and

Three weeks: July 6-24 (Credit Option)

Introduction to Interactive Media (3 Credit Option) For entering Juniors, Senior, and graduating Seniors Students may choose to enroll in this course for college credit or non-credit.

Graduate Programs

Master of Science in Educational Technology (MSET) The Ramapo College Program in Educational Technology can dramatically transform the roles of the teacher and student by bringing the world into the classroom. Advances in technology can accommodate diverse learning styles and performance levels, liberate teachers and students from the “one size fits all” model of education, enable students from dissimilar backgrounds to experience a common sense of accomplishment,

provide bridges from school to career, and foster lifelong learning. From its earliest years Ramapo College has earned widespread recognition for its initiatives in effecting change through staff development programs geared to elementary and secondary educators throughout the surrounding region. In addition to inservice institutes and workshops tailored to areas of defined need by school districts, the College has conducted multi-year programs centered on curricular reforms in mathematics and science which have earned acclaim. Since 1994, the College has been the recipient of competitive grant funding exceeding $6 million dollars from the National Science Foundation and New Jersey State Department of Education for teacher enhancement projects in science and technology. Escalating calls for graduate programs directed at the needs and concerns of the professional education community have spurred the College to design focused graduate studies grounded in the College conceptualization of its leadership mission in the improvement of pre-college education. The program is aimed at certified teachers who possess a career goal of attaining higher levels of professional competence.

GRADUATE PROGRAMS

Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies is an innovative approach to graduate education whose purpose is as old as the idea of the university itself. As Socrates suggested over 2000 years ago, we need more than specialized learning or mastery of a particular skill to function well in our world. In 1953, the first Graduate Liberal Studies program was established at Wesleyan University, followed soon after by others at Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Harvard and dozens of other universities. The concept caught on rapidly, and there are now almost 200 such programs throughout the country. Unlike traditional masters’ programs, which focus on developing skill in one specific discipline, Graduate Liberal Studies emphasizes the interrelated nature of knowledge and brings the expertise of different disciplines to bear on the issues it examines. The program uses the interdisciplinary, multicultural and international perspectives that Ramapo first developed in its undergraduate programs to explore issues that shaped and continue to influence the modern world. Ramapo’s program is unique in focusing upon the contact between western and non-Western peoples in the past and the present. It explores how society at different times has been viewed by groups who are outside the mainstream, and investigates the perceptions of peoples from different cultures. Students study these issues in four core courses, followed by four electives which build upon themes introduced in the core, culminating in one of three seminar options. The breadth and nature of the program have particular relevance to mature students who want to be able to make better sense of the times in which they live and who function in increasingly multicultural settings. Teachers will find it valuable, as will others whose work places them in contact with coworkers or clients from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
