Ramapo College of New Jersey Athletics

Ramapo competes in NCAA Division III, which means athletics focus on personal development rather than scholarships or big crowds. The Roadrunners field 20 varsity teams with 317 total athletes, representing about 7% of the 4,664-student body. Division III emphasizes the student-athlete experience without athletic scholarships, fitting Ramapo's liberal arts mission. The college competes in the New Jersey Athletic Conference alongside regional rivals like The College of New Jersey and Rowan University. Ramapo's athletic facilities serve both varsity athletes and the broader campus community. The relatively small athletic participation rate reflects the school's academic focus, though sports provide opportunities for leadership and campus involvement. Division III allows students to compete seriously while prioritizing their studies and career preparation.
