Rider University has a long tradition of preparing professionals for leadership roles in their chosen fields and communities. Our rigorous, hands-on learning teaches students to think critically and communicate clearly. Our location — an hour from New York City and Philadelphia — offers great opportunities for exploration, culture, internships and jobs.
It’s not always easy to see what makes a school stand apart. Ask any Rider student or professor and they’ll tell you about the “Rider Five” — key factors we believe are essential to a great college experience. They promise a student-centered environment focusing on connected learning, leadership skills, social responsibility, and a global perspective. Those are big ideas that make a difference in how students learn.
Student Centered
Being a student-centered university is more than a description: it’s Rider’s promise. It means we offer students the opportunities and resources they need to succeed. It means that every member of our community is available to support student endeavors. And it impacts every decision we make.
Connected Learning
The most important thing isn’t what you learn, but how you learn. At Rider, that process starts with engaged faculty members whose top priority is their students. They’re passionate about their disciplines and committed to sharing their knowledge. The result is an exciting, interdisciplinary approach that prepares students for a lifetime of active learning. Students learn through experience — applying classroom knowledge in such hands-on activities as faculty research, internships, practicums, and special projects. Our small, personal classes encourage students to share ideas and experiences; communication skills and teamwork become integral to learning.
