Curriculum
The Rider Online MBA program is designed to offer flexibility, convenience, and value to students preparing for advanced careers as decision makers in a rapidly changing world
Students are provided with a broad understanding of overall business concepts and operations, moving from a “one-dimensional” focus to one that mirrors the complexity of today’s business enterprise.
By utilizing the case study approach to analyze real-world situations, students are encouraged to question, apply business knowledge and develop informed decisions.
Program Overview
Rider’s Online MBA classes include foundation, breadth and elective classes that provide the same knowledge and experience as in-person MBA courses.
Students within the Online MBA program are not eligible to take in-person classes on the Rider campus. Depending on the background of the individual student, selected foundation courses may be waived, leaving students with between 36 and 54 credits to complete the degree. With six start dates (two in fall, two in spring and two in summer), students may complete the MBA on a part-time basis in as few as 24 months.
Courses are taught in small sections, usually by full-time faculty holding doctoral degrees. Faculty are engaged in research in their fields and have business experience as well.
There is a required online orientation before a student can begin in the program.
