First-year

Rider is now test optional! Visit our website for all admission requirements.

Transfer

One out of four Rider undergraduates is a transfer student, so we’re experts at welcoming you to our campus community. Our distinctive approach to engaged learning will prepare you for a life of success.

Additional Information

You’re going to learn a lot of things at Rider: how to collaborate on a group presentation, how to craft a persuasive essay, how to fold a fitted sheet (just kidding, we don’t know how to do that, either). But the most important thing you’ll learn is how to uncover the skills you didn’t know you had, apply those skills to the world beyond Rider and turn them into a career.

Visit us

A trip to campus is the best way to understand what a Rider education will be like. Talk to professors, sit in on a class, catch a Broncs game and get a feel for our community in real life. Rider’s transfer admissions counselors provide outstanding support to transfer students. Potential transfer students can register for a Transfer appointment, which can be modified to fit your schedule.
