Affordability is Rider’s number one priority when it comes to your education. A dedicated financial aid counselor will be paired with you and will guide you through your academic and financial journey as they assist you in identifying the scholarships, grants and aid resources available to you. Continuing education students can pursue their program of choice either full-time or part-time at the per credit rate.

I was a public safety officer at Rider while finishing my degree. My advisor helped determine the best route for me academically and a professor put me in contact with different people he personally knew to give me guidance in the law enforcement field.
