To the Graduating Class of 2018, I offer my wholehearted congratulations to you on your graduation. It is remarkable to reflect on the historic moments we have shared both locally on our own campus and nationally as your future unfolds before you.

As significant forces change the national higher education landscape and the campus grounds continue to evolve, it is important that the value of a Ramapo liberal arts education persists. As economic uncertainties endure, the ability to think analytically and critically, to speak concisely and cogently, and to write effectively are essential skills in the ever-changing twenty-first century.

I thank you for your contributions to both the curricular and extracurricular vibrancy of our campus. Your inquiry, talent, and character have invigorated the Ramapo campus and continue to strengthen our reputation. It is a privilege for me to personally congratulate you at the 2018 Arching and Commencement Ceremonies.

I trust your Ramapo College experience will provide a foundation for a rich and fulfilling life, and I wish you success in all your endeavors.

Sincerely,

Anisfield SCHOOL OF

Business The Anisfield School of Business provides learning experiences that are uniquely diverse. Our students approach their business studies from both a macro and micro perspective; they develop both rational and emotional intelligence; they develop both analytical and creative skills; and they learn to balance profitability with sustainability. In addition to a strong foundation in the business disciplines, the Anisfield School of Business provides a strong liberal arts and interdisciplinary foundation to broaden the student’s perspective and intellectual abilities.

In the spring of 2006, the original Ramapo College School of Administration and Business was renamed the Anisfield School of Business in recognition of the generous gifts of

the Anisfield family. Since 2010, the Anisfield School of Business has been accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. AACSB accreditation ensures that we are fulfilling our mission: to provide students with a strong educational foundation for a lifetime of learning and for career achievement as responsible contributors and leaders, within a supportive learning environment where engaged faculty bridge theory and practice. AACSB accreditation also ensures that our core values—academic excellence, professionalism, and learning-by-doing, diversity, integrity and continuous improvement—are manifest in our teaching, research, and service to the College and community.

The School offers five undergraduate majors: B.S. in Accounting, B.S. in Business Administration, B.A. in Economics, B.S. in Information Technology Management, and B.A. in International Business.

The B.S. degree in Business Administration offers concentrations in Finance, Management, and Marketing. The school offers minors in Accounting, Economics, Information Technology Management, and International Business as well as a Business Essentials Certificate for non-business majors.

offers an accelerated, 20-month leadership-focused M.B.A. program designed for working professionals, and a “4 + 1” B.S. to M.S in Accounting, in which students complete both their undergraduate and graduate degrees in just five years.

Academic advisement, career guidance, and professional development are integrated throughout a student’s years at Ramapo College. The ASB Cahill Career Development Center assists students in finding internships and co-ops during their undergraduate experience, and relevant full-time employment—the first step in building fulfilling careers—upon graduation. The Career Center also administers our Career Pathways Program (required for graduation), which provides students with skills/ interests assessment, resume preparation, and interviewing skill development.

Outside of the classroom, our students are heavily involved in major-specific clubs, as well as Alpha Kappa Psi (co-ed business fraternity), ENACTUS (community-service organization), the Roadrunner Financial Group Student Investment Club, and clubs for every discipline, and three internationallyrecognized honor societies: Beta Gamma Sigma, Omicron Delta Epsilon, and Beta Alpha Psi.

he 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 Cooperative 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. Some have won awards from such major art funding sources as the National Endowment for the Arts, John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, and the Kellogg Foundation. In addition to the full-time faculty, the school has attracted many working artists and media professionals to teach as adjunct faculty, serve as guest directors and designers, or 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 emphasize such special interests and career goals as arts management, music industry, and art therapy).

These programs lead to the Bachelor of Arts degree.

Minors are available in Music and Theater.

Contemporary Arts students are actively involved with “The Ramapo News,” the college newspaper, WRPR (90.3 FM), the college radio station, and RCTV, the student club for television/video production. Others participate in the Ramapo Chorale, the Gospel Chorus, or Visual Artists Society, a student club dedicated to nurturing the

artistic process and presenting visual work. Many students hold paid positions that support the work of the School, such as Art Gallery monitors, computer lab technicians and monitors, film/video studio and equipment check-out staff, and costume shop and scenery shop technicians. In addition, many students are hired each year to support professional performing arts events as theater technicians, box office staff and ushers.

The School is housed in the Angelica and Russ Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts, featuring state-of-the-art theater, music, and visual arts spaces, and in newly renovated facilities in C and H buildings, which provide a professional quality television studio and audio studio, digital imaging and writing labs, a Final Cut Pro editing lab, a field production classroom, and private editing suites. Additionally, the School occupies a freestanding sculpture studio complex. Students benefit from the professional performing arts programming on campus which include music, dance, and theater performances in the Sharp Theater, and from the visual arts exhibitions in the college Art Galleries, which focus on contemporary art in changing exhibitions, and which feature one of the foremost collections of works from the Americas and the Caribbean in the permanent collection.

The School of Contemporary Arts encourages students to engage in Internships and Cooperative Education experiences. External placements are facilitated in graphic and Web design, print journalism, radio, television, professional theater, art galleries and museums, etc. Organizations where our students have been placed include Minolta, Sharp Electronics, Sony, WNET-TV, WABC-TV, WWORTV, Cablevision, The Bergen Record, American Museum of Natural History, Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Roundabout Theater Company, the Joseph Papp Public Theater, and others. In addition to hands-on training, students receive degree credits for their experiences.

2018RamapoCollege.indd 22 22 757420_012_027_facuty.indd

The Salameno School of Humanities and Global Studies (SSHGS) aims to create a holistic educational experience that enables our students to become literate, intentional, and empowered global citizens who are prepared, not only in specific recognized fields, but also in interdisciplinary dialogue. Through our varied offerings (including Africana Studies, Anthropology, American Studies, History, International Studies, Literature, Philosophy, Political Science, Liberal Studies, and World Languages), we seek to enhance students’ understanding and appreciation of the complex cultural, political, and imaginative dimensions of human existence.

Faculty members’ teaching, service, and scholarly or creative achievement combine to help 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 world languages, humanities, and social sciences. Seven of faculty in SSHGS have won the annual Bischoff Teaching Award during the last 10 years.

SSHGS co-curricular activities are designed to supplement and enhance classroom and academic learning and to educate and inform the college community. Programs include the

SSHGS Colloquium Series, which enables faculty, students, and visiting scholars to present their research; the Gross Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, which organizes events focused on the history of the Holocaust and the prevention of genocide and human rights violations; the SSHGS Film Series, which sponsors a number of feature films and documentaries presented with commentary and analysis by faculty sponsors; the Readings at Ramapo Visiting Writers Series, which brings to campus nationally recognized writers; and the Salameno Center for British Studies, which sponsors public lectures and other activities to further the study of all aspects of British culture.

Students may major in Africana Studies, American Studies, History, International Studies, Liberal Studies (which is a contract major), Literature, Political Science, or Spanish Language Studies. These programs all lead to the Bachelor of Arts degree. Most of these majors can be taken as minors as well.

Additionally, the School offers minors in Anthropology, Creative Writing, East Asian Studies, French, Human Rights and Genocide Studies, Italian, Judaic Studies, Latino(a) and Latin American Studies, Philosophy, and Public Policy. SSHGS also offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS).

Our curriculum is designed to enhance

Dean Susan Hangen students’ skills in critical reading and writing, effective communication, problem solving, and leadership. It is also designed to improve students’ global and cross-cultural understanding and give them the intellectual and practical foundation to become successful in their careers and further studies. Thousands of students have graduated from SSHGS and its predecessors and have pursued careers in law, consulting, management, government, journalism, publishing, community organizing, public interest advocacy, marketing, public relations, teaching, and other fields.

The School of Social Science and Human Services (SSHS) enrolls over 1400 students in its degree and certification programs. We have 55 full-time faculty and 50 part-time instructors who serve 6 majors, 8 minors, including the Teacher Education Program, a Master of Science in Educational Technology, a Master of Arts in Sustainability Studies, a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership, a Master in Special Education, and a Master of Social Work program.

To understand society and culture, a historical understanding rooted in critical thinking and social inquiry is necessary. SSHS provides social awareness and experiential learning to develop students who are aiming to effect social change, address societal inequity, and properly distinguish between fact and fiction. Students who graduate from a major with SSHS are able to foster social, statistical, and ecological literacy.

The School of Theoretical and Applied Science (TAS) has been a part of Ramapo College since it admitted its first class in 1971. Since its inception, TAS has been committed to excellence in teaching, research, and 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 lifelong learners in an increasingly complex and ever-changing technological culture.

The School’s curricula are comprehensive in scope, including those designed to promote scientific and mathematical understanding among non-science majors across the College.

TAS offers 13 undergraduate majors, 9 minors and graduate programs in nursing. All are 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 broader contexts of the liberal arts and global understanding. All of our classrooms, teaching laboratories, and research spaces have been completely renovated and we have the newly constructed Adler Center for Nursing Excellence. We have the most up-to-date teaching and research equipment that is available.

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 for governmental agencies, academic institutions, and private research facilities in promoting the public good and educational excellence.
