Rider is now working with one of the world’s largest study abroad networks
The Center for International Education is excited to announce a new partnership with International Student Exchange Program (ISEP). Under the new program, students will have access to quality academic programs in over 20 countries around the world where they will have the opportunity to study abroad for a semester or year.
ISEP offers many financial scholarships for specific countries of study, leadership and merit. Between Rider’s financial aid transfer system and ISEP scholarships, going abroad will now be more accessible than ever.
ISEP started as a small nonprofit organization and has since grown into one of the world’s largest study abroad networks. It offers Rider students a variety of universities to select that are appropriate for their major and the opportunity to live in smaller towns and cities, which enable students to “live like a local."
As an exchange program, Rider not only sends students abroad but also gives students from partner institutions around the world the chance to study in the United States, creating a larger international student population at Rider. This new partnership creates an easier way to transfer credit for both major and elective credit.
The Center for International Education is now accepting applications to apply for ISEP programs, which will begin in Fall 2017.
