Master of Business Administration

The Rider MBA program provides advanced preparation for professional success in a rapidly changing world.

Sharpen your business expertise and position yourself for advancement in today’s competitive business environments with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Rider University. You’ll benefit from an AACSB-accredited program, small class sizes, convenient course formats and the option to tailor your degree to your interests in one of four specializations within the MBA program: business analytics, finance, information systems and sport management.

In recent years, businesses have become more global in their outreach, increasingly driven by analytics in their decision-making, and progressively more entrepreneurial in their approach. These shifts have led to a need for business professionals to regularly make decisions outside of their functional areas of operation, to be better problem solvers and decision makers who understand how their actions impact the entire organization and the competitive landscape. The Rider MBA program provides advanced preparation for successful participation in a rapidly changing world. Students are exposed to real-world situations that encourage them to question and analyze.
