Rider University showed me things that I did want, and offered me so many opportunities to start to change my destiny and pursue new interests.
The promise of Engaged Learning
Every four-year Rider student completes at least two high-impact Engaged Learning experiences prior to graduation (in fact, we require it!). Students who enter with Sophomore or higher standing must complete at least one high-impact experience.
Travel, create, lead, serve (and more)
Engaged Learning allows you to combine academics, career goals and activities to reflect your personality and interests. Together, the six categories of the program will allow you to create a meaningful education that is uniquely yours.
