Rider University, originally known as Trenton Business College, was founded in 1865 after the civil war. Originally regarded as a business school, the university began to expand to larger spaces and began incorporating more areas of study, eventually adding five new schools of study in the early 1960’s.

 

Today, students can choose from 70 undergraduate programs and 35 graduate programs, each incorporating the school’s hands-on learning practices to allow students to think critically and take an active role in their education.
