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, 2000 and 2010.
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 December, 2010, the Anisfield School of Business earned accreditation for its undergraduate business program through AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. AACSB International accreditation represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools. Achieving AACSB accreditation required a rigorous, standards based, multi-year process that requires the commitment of the entire faculty and staff of the school as well as the on-going support of College administration. Key stakeholders include students, alumni and the business community, all of whom were included in the process.
