It's a unique site for serious learning by analysis, an exchange of ideas through discussion, and hands-on experience. Classes are small and instruction is often individualized. The faculty is composed of working artists, writers, producers, composers, and performers, well-known and respected in their fields, who are dedicated to the development of their students' intellectual and professional skills.

The faculty is composed of working artists, writers, producers, composers, and performers, well-known and respected in their fields, who are dedicated to the development of their students' intellectual and professional skills. But, the education of artists and the presentation of the visual and performing arts are most successful in specially designed spaces. Ramapo's commitment to a vigorous and dynamic visual and performing arts curriculum can be immediately recognized on campus with the construction of the Berrie Center, a sophisticated facility that will complement the work of an outstanding arts faculty. Steven Perry, convener of Ramapo College's Theater major for the past four years, is the newly-appointed dean of the school. He has been a key member of the Angelica and Russ Berrie Center's Planning Committee and a member of the all-college Arts and Lectures Committee, the group responsible for most of the performing arts programming.
