Iguazu Falls, Argentina.  Rider has affiliate programs in Rosario, Mendoza and Buenos Aires.

Choosing a study abroad program is a process that begins with considering what your goals are and initiating some important personal and academic conversations. You should begin by exploring our study abroad web page for program information, by talking to your adviser and your parents, and by meeting with study abroad staff in the Office of International Programs. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Where do I want to study and why? 
• How long do I want to study abroad? A year in one location? 2 semesters in two different locations? A semester? A 4-6 week summer program? A short-term faculty led program? 
• Given my major(s), minor(s) and other curricular requirements I have to complete, when is the best time for me to go abroad? 
• Are there programs available offering courses that satisfy any of my academic requirements? 
• Which programs best fit my pocketbook?

Remember that if we do not have the program you want, we can help you find it. Remember too that if you study abroad for the fall and/or spring semester and normally live on campus, your costs are often identical to or even less than a semester at Rider. Summer study is not covered by your financial aid package, so semester or year-long study is financially more attractive. Your financial aid package will be adjusted for more expensive programs, so don't let financial worries scare you away. We can find you a program that fits your budget, and there are numerous sources of scholarships listed on our webpage.
