Rider University International Mission
Rider University is guided by a commitment to prepare its students as global citizens and socially responsible leaders in an increasingly interdependent, diverse and complex world. Students who study abroad enrich their personal lives and gain a competitive edge in graduate and professional school admissions and the job market.
To achieve this goal, the University provides all students with the opportunity to participate in an international experience. Students may choose to go abroad for a year, semester, or summer, and they can participate in short-term faculty-led travel projects abroad. Education abroad experiences include study, service-learning and internships available through University exchanges, affiliate programs or direct enrollment programs. Courses taken abroad can be articulated with students' major and minor program requirements and can be used to satisfy general education and elective requirements.
