As a student, you will be encouraged to take advantage of numerous opportunities for hands-on learning. You and your classmates might form a consulting team to advise a community agency on a problem. You may be selected as a research assistant on a professor's nationally funded research project or decide to pursue your own independent interests. If you're like most Rider students, you'll complete at least one professional internship or practicum in your major. Many students do two or more internships, allowing them to test their interests and network with professionals.
