Founded by the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary and Sister Madeleine of Jesus, Rivier University in Nashua, New Hampshire, is a four-year Catholic not-for-profit institution offering professional preparation and a liberal arts education for both undergraduate and graduate students. For more than 80 years, the University has offered academic excellence in a learning environment that seeks to ...educate the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
Rivier University is recognized for its more than 50 degree programs serving the needs of both traditional and non-traditional students. The University prides itself on small classes led by accomplished faculty who create an active, experience-based learning environment.
At the heart of the Rivier experience are Christian and Catholic values. Inspired by the mission of the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary, Rivier students, faculty, and staff engage in dialogue about basic human issues and actively work toward solutions in their own communities and the world community.
The University is ideally located in the heart of New England, just a short distance from Nashua’s downtown, an hour to Boston and the seacoast, and two hours from Hartford, Providence, and Portland.
We invite you to take a closer look at all that Rivier University has to offer.
One of the University’s greatest strengths is its Roman Catholic heritage. For more than 80 years, Rivier’s founders, the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary and our foundress, Sister Madeleine of Jesus, have played a leading role in making the University a place where Judeo-Christian and Catholic values inform what we teach and what we talk about as a community.
Rivier students are an active and caring group. Some come to campus ready to expand on the community service they did in high school, while others are inspired to jump in and take part once they get here. In the past year, Rivier students made quilts for babies affected by the AIDS virus, served as mentors to elementary school students, built low-income housing, and traveled to Houston to work with children in crisis, among many other activities. Through its Campus Ministry and Volunteer Services Office, the University offers motivated students countless ways to make a difference.

Rivier University’s undergraduate Core Curriculum invites students to initiate several “Journeys of Transformation” and explore how to think about things in new ways by taking on new perspectives of self, the world, and others.
The Core Curriculum consists of a common core and a core complement. In the common core, students take courses that are linked sequentially by both academic skills and by their focus on the questions. In the core complement, students choose from different courses in three areas: humanities and social sciences, math and natural sciences, and languages. These complementary courses broaden students’ knowledge of the worlds they inhabit. Finally, students engage in two service experiences, in the first year and the second year, which introduce students to the greater Nashua, NH community and the service needs and opportunities available there.
Service learning integrates active, socially significant service into the education experience. It offers students meaningful, community-based, experiential learning by adding human depth to the theories learned in the classroom. At Rivier University, service learning reflects our commitment to a transformative education that engages both the heart and the mind in service to the world.
Service learning provides a unique learning opportunity for students by being involved with the inner workings of an organization or agency. Academic theory is tested and deeper understanding often develops. The service experience opens new windows of awareness and self-confidence. It often helps to confirm or inspire new direction in academics or career.
The Division of Student Affairs provides services for students based on the ideal that learning occurs beyond the classroom. Offices in this division challenge and support students by providing co-curricular and extra-curricular programs and activities that are linked to the University’s Roman Catholic tradition and core mission: transforming hearts and minds to serve the world.
By providing opportunities that focus on the education of the whole person, the Division of Student Affairs invites students to enter into experiences that will promote growth in faith, the development and formation of character, and an attitude that embraces lifelong learning and service to the community.
Members of the Student Affairs staff encourage responsible decision making, physical and emotional wellness, respect for all members of the Rivier community and beyond, and an appreciation of diversity. This is strengthened through collaboration and cooperation with academic affairs and other campus student services.
