Ramapo College of New Jersey

What are the graduation rates for students at Ramapo College of New Jersey?

About 57% of Ramapo students in the reported first-time, full-time bachelor's-degree cohort graduated within four years, and about 70% graduated within six years. The longer measure allows additional time for completion; it does not mean that all students who did not finish in four years finished in six.

These federal graduation measures follow a defined entering cohort. They do not describe every transfer student, part-time student, or adult learner. Ramapo's reported first-year retention rate is about 84%, meaning that proportion of the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. Retention and graduation are useful planning indicators, but neither establishes why a particular student stayed, left, or took longer to finish.

Students estimating their own timeline should also look at major prerequisites, course availability, accepted transfer credit, and whether they expect to attend full time.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Ramapo College of New Jersey?

College Scorecard program figures report median earnings for federally aided completers with available earnings records about one year after completion. They are early-career measures for a defined group - not starting salaries promised to every graduate and not a measure of lifetime earnings.

Reported examples vary substantially by field. The one-year median is $74,265 for the registered-nursing category, compared with $66,440 for general computer and information sciences. Accounting is reported at $54,158, while psychology is reported at $28,354. Differences can reflect occupation, further study, hours worked, and the graduates represented in each program's records; they do not isolate the effect of attending Ramapo.

Prospective students should compare the precise program category with their intended major and weigh these figures alongside program costs, licensure requirements, and their likely career path. An early earnings measure can be especially incomplete for fields in which graduates commonly pursue additional education.
