Rider students follow a personalized path that combines academic excellence, Engaged Learning experiences and dedicated career support. According to our latest First Destination Report, 90% of bachelor’s degree recipients were employed, pursuing graduate studies, volunteering, or serving in the military within one year of graduation. That’s 9 out of 10 students, transformed by a Rider education and already making their mark.
