think learning partners

Ready, set, succeed.  Meet your Academic Family.

More than 95 percent of Rider’s faculty members hold a Ph.D. or the highest credential in their field.  Twelve are Fulbright Scholars.  Rider's faculty brings real-world experience to the classroom that elevates what you learn from mere theory to “real-world” knowledge.  They understand what a graduate needs to be successful whether it’s on the job, preparing for admission to graduate or professional school, or building long-lasting relationships.

We’re not talking giant lecture halls and a droning voice in the distance. We’re talking engaged, connected learning, the open exchange of ideas and real-world experience with professors who are passionate about what they do.  Our professors not only care about your academic achievement, they also care about your personal growth and life achievement.   Sure, they’ll know your name—but more importantly, they’ll know you.

Has academic excellence ever sounded so good?

In addition to professors based on the Lawrenceville campus, the Princeton campus of Rider University offers:  World-class musicians.  Skilled scholars.  Mentors.  Learning partners.  The Faculty of Westminster Choir College.  What we mean is you’ll be learning and working alongside a group of passionate professionals who love what they do.  They are not just dedicated to your academic achievement, but also your personal growth and life achievement.  They are part of the living, breathing, engaging environment that is Westminster.
