Rider is where your future begins. First-year students are defined as recent high school graduates who are attending college for the first time. There are so many opportunities ahead. Take the first step towards your tomorrow at Rider.
No matter where you began your journey, Rider has the resources you need to continue moving forward. At Rider, transfer students are defined as students who are under the age of 25 and have credits from another college or university.
Rider offers flexible pathways for adult learners aged 25 or over, including veterans and active duty military personnel, that allow you to earn your bachelor's degree or take courses for personal enrichment. Non-matriculated or visiting students should apply using the Continuing Education application.
This program provides the flexibility to concentrate in geo, environmental or marine sciences while still meeting the earth science-related objectives of high school education majors and to facilitate the timely completion of their dual requirements in the College of Education and Human Services and the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Earth sciences students enjoy the best of both worlds. This program is designed specifically as a second major for students in the College of Education and Human Services interested in teaching earth science in high schools.
