Ramapo Profile: Accreditation / Memberships
Accreditation
The College - Established in 1969 as a state-supported, co-educational, four-year College of liberal arts, sciences, and professional studies. Accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools in 1975. Reaccredited in 1981, 1990 and 2000.
Social Work - The Social Work Program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. In February 2008, the National Council of Social Work Education's Commission on Accreditation (COA) reviewed the "self-study" prepared by the College's Social Work Program, the Council's site visitor's report, and the program's response to it and voted to reaffirm the accreditation of the program until February 2016. This is the fourth time that the program has been reaccredited since its initial accreditation in 1977.
Chemistry - The Chemistry Program is approved by the American Chemical Society (ACS).
Nursing - The Nursing Program is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC).
Teacher Education - The Teacher Certification program is approved by the State of New Jersey. In November 2007 the Accreditation Panel of the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC) voted unanimously to grant Ramapo College's Teacher Education Program "new Program Accreditation." The Inquiry Brief submitted for the accreditation will be used as a model in TEAC training sessions.
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). Achieving this accreditation would place the Anisfield School of Business among the elite business schools in the world. In December of 2007, the Accreditation Plan was approved.
Having achieved this important milestone, the Public College hopes to realize its goal of AACSB accreditation within the next few years.
