Rider University enables its students to acquire knowledge, think critically, communicate clearly, and lead effectively so they may enjoy fulfilling lives and successful careers. A challenging and caring institutional environment encourages and supports students as they recognize and develop their unique potentials. The 353-acre Lawrenceville campus is in a suburban area three miles north of Trenton and five miles south of Princeton. The modern facilities, designed to meet the academic, social, and recreational needs of the Rider community, are clustered and within easy walking distance of one another.
Ample parking is available.
Courses are taught in small sections, usually by full-time faculty holding doctorates. Classes are scheduled to enable those who work full-time to complete the programs. In the Business program, most of the faculty are engaged in research in their fields, and many have business experience as well. In addition, since most of the students are employed in professional or managerial positions, they bring a wealth of business experience to share with their peers. In the Graduate Education and Human Services program, individual advising and engagement in carefully selected fieldwork experiences help students prepare for a variety of career goals.
