Travel, create, lead, serve and more!

Engaged Learning allows you to combine academics, career goals and activities to reflect your personality and interests. Together, the six categories of the program will allow you to create a meaningful education that is uniquely yours.

The Engaged Learning mission

Let us help you build bridges between your course of study and the world in which we live.

How to earn engaged learning points

  • While you’re out there learning, we’ll be documenting your journey on an Engaged Learning Transcript (ELT) that will show graduate schools and prospective employers all you’ve accomplished at Rider.
  • All students earn points in the same way, by taking an approved course, by participating in approved experiences, or by completing volunteer community service hours.
  • Only courses taken at Rider University and experience or service hours performed while a Rider University student are eligible to earn points towards your Engaged Learning requirement.
