At Ramapo, learning extends far beyond the classroom. Students work alongside faculty mentors on meaningful research, gain hands-on experience through internships and clinical placements, and pursue opportunities that help them stand out in competitive careers and graduate programs.

From Classroom to National Recognition

When Franco Miyashiro ’27 became Ramapo’s first Goldwater Scholar, one of the nation’s most prestigious undergraduate awards for students pursuing careers in science and research. He demonstrated what’s possible when talented students are given the opportunity to explore, discover, and lead.

Franco’s achievement reflects the School of Science, Nursing, and Health experience: students don’t simply learn about science, healthcare, and technology; they actively contribute to the future of those fields.

“Ramapo gave me opportunities to do real research, work alongside dedicated faculty mentors, and challenge myself in ways I never expected. Those experiences helped me grow as a scientist and opened doors to opportunities like the Goldwater Scholarship.”
