As dean of the CBA, I easily take for granted the unique opportunities the College of Business offers for its students.  Rider’s residential suburban campus is just minutes from global companies in the pharmaceutical and financial industries.  A short commute south, either by train, bus or car, takes our students to Philadelphia, while, New York City is just as accessible to the north.

As a mid-sized university with a thriving College of Business Administration, our students build relationships with dedicated faculty who genuinely desire to mentor them.  This also allows us to challenge our students to leave Rider truly prepared for their chosen careers.  This attention and devotion is unparalleled at larger institutions; because of small class sizes, Rider’s faculty stimulate minds in class with thought-provoking and interactive lessons that accurately reflect the real world of business. 

Becoming involved in the community is something Rider emphasizes to its students. The importance of being a leader, whether as CEO or as an entry-level manager, and the responsibilities and character traits accompanying this designation are paramount to the Rider CBA experience. Through extracurricular programs, in-class emphasis and study, and skill-development programs, the CBA is constantly cultivating future leaders.

Rider strives to prepare each student with the foundation that will allow him or her to be distinguished in life.  This foundation consists not only of a prestigious AACSB International accredited curricula and unique co-curricular programs, but also includes thousands of Rider CBA alums who have successful careers and satisfying lives.  I invite you to explore how the Rider CBA can help you shape your future.

Sincerely, 
Larry M. Newman, Ph.D.
