The following curriculum is designed for student wishing to transfer to Thomas Jefferson University prior to completing the requirements for a Rider University Bachelors of Science degree. If a student wishes to obtain the B.S. degree from Rider University prior to transfer, he/she must also fulfill the requirements for that degree program (including College of Liberal Arts and Sciences core requirements) as outlined in the Academic Catalog. For transfer to an allied health program other than Thomas Jefferson's College of Health Professions, students must contact specific programs for curricular guidelines.
Specific tracks (physical therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, etc.) within the Allied Health program require different courses. The following table lists the Rider courses which satisfy the TJU College of Health Professions course requirements. Other pages describe the course requirements for each specialty as outlined by Thomas Jefferson University, along with the suggested schedule of Rider courses which fulfill those requirements. For information about the courses as offered by rider, please consult the online undergraduate catalog.
