Employment Promise Program

This is our promise to you: You will secure a full-time job within nine months of graduation. If you don't, you'll receive additional financial or educational support. That's how confident we are in the Rivier experience.

Internships and Hands-On Learning

Students work alongside professionals right from the start of their programs. When they cross the stage and receive their diploma they are well prepared for what's ahead of them—because they've already experienced it first-hand.

Our students will have steady employment in their career fields and are on their way to top positions. I think that speaks not only the caliber of students that attend Rivier, but the network we have in the community and its respect for our graduates.”
