Rider University has a rich history, of making changes...
Rider University began as Trenton Business College on October 2, 1865.
In 1866, Andrew Jackson Rider came to the school as its third president and he later became a part owner in 1868.
Three presidents in one year? C’mon New Jersey.
Just 13 years later, he became sole owner of the school and they later incorporated the Rider Business School to Trenton Business College and the school then became known as Rider Business College and Andrew J. Rider became the school’s first president in 1897.
