Rider University is proud to offer a wide variety of graduate assistantships (GA) for accepted graduate students. A GA opportunity at Rider will not only help you finance your graduate education, it provides an invaluable academic and professional development experience. Being a GA at Rider allows graduate students the chance to be an essential team member of a Rider department while gaining practical experience, expanding academic understanding, and networking with leaders and students in their discipline and across the University. A graduate assistantship at Rider is a rewarding experience that offers collaboration with faculty and staff, mentorship, new knowledge and skills and community.
