Barbra came to Rider looking for authentic in-class experiences. She wanted to embark upon her Master's journey at a school that provided flexibility, support and hands-on educational experiences. As a school that not only checked off these boxes, but encouraged and valued mature learners and flexible learning, Rider was the perfect fit for Barbra.
No other university compared to the flexibility or the support Rider was willing to provide to a mature learner with a full time job, family and volunteer responsibilities.
