Ramapo College has a long history of social justice and a commitment to serving the community. The social work program began with a BSW program in 1969, and the MSW program was added in 2016.

The social work program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education and supports  students from diverse backgrounds. The program seeks to train and encourage its students to be active, personally and professionally, in taking leadership roles in addressing social problems and challenging social, economic, and environmental injustice. Students prepare for careers in advocacy, clinical care, research, and policy, and take part in field opportunities in schools, hospitals, prisons, and community organizations. Students also have the opportunity to study international social work in Portugal, Cuba, Ghana, Iceland, and the Netherlands.
