“Engaged Learning” is an important part of Rider’s education requirement that can be achieved through the internship or co-op experience. Students are strongly encouraged to complete at least one internship or co-op prior to graduation. Preparation for experiential learning should begin in the freshman year by meeting with Career Development and Success Center representatives located in the Norm Brodsky College of Business. They will assist you in building a resume, networking, interview skills and more. Most students will complete either an internship or co-op by the summer preceding their senior year. Eligible students may opt to complete such an experience in the summer following their sophomore year. Co-ops are typically full-time semester plus summer long experiences.
Students may earn course credit for completing an internship (3 credits) or co-op (6 credits). The following is a sample of firms that have hired Rider Finance majors for summer internships in the past: Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, Bloomberg, BlackRock, Dow Jones, J.P. Morgan Chase, Johnson & Johnson,Vanguard, FDIC.
