Learn more about Rider’s application process.
The global studies major offers the freedom to create your own course of study — combining courses from business to political science, from anthropology to economics, from communications to foreign languages — based on your professional interests and needs.
Global studies graduates exit Rider with the whole world in their hands. They pursue diverse careers in areas including government service, international business, law, international NGOs (non-government organizations), and other organizations that deal with international and global issues. Many students also choose to further their education in graduate and professional schools to study law, public affairs and international relations.
As a Global Studies major, you will gain the tools and skills needed to thrive in our increasingly global society — along with a new way of viewing the world. You’ll also have crucial access to internships in the United States and around the world.
Learning by doing. That’s the driving principle behind Engaged Learning at Rider. It’s where theory meets practice, giving you the opportunity to apply the knowledge, skills and insights you’ve gained in the classroom to real-world situations and professional settings.
