Pace University is a good school for students who want to study in New York City and connect their education to real career opportunities. One of the best things about Pace is its location, because being in NYC gives students access to internships, networking events, companies, and professionals from many industries.
The professors are also a strong part of the experience. Many of them have real-world experience, especially in business and finance, which makes the classes more practical. Students... Read More
The university also offers many opportunities outside the classroom, such as clubs, career events, and networking sessions. These can help students build confidence and prepare for their careers. However, like any university, the experience depends on how much effort the student puts in.
Overall, Pace is a solid university for motivated students who want to study in a professional environment and take advantage of being in New York City.

There are better schools out there. Being at Pace was so draining. Impossible to make friends which basically forces you to join clubs, but even then it's not guaranteed. Living in one of the loneliest cities in the world gets quite depressing and Pace does not help. Marvin Krislov is the best part of Pace though.

I'm not gonna lie... when I went the quality of instruction was "ok"... most of the profs simply reading from power points, we could have done that at home.... nothing groundbreaking/ inspiring/ novel here.... also, and this may be nit-picking, but all the profs are essentially suburban "Long-Island types" which is kind of a shame to be schooling in the city yet not getting a "live and work in NYC" feel from instructors.... HOWEVER... the boon here which cannot be quantified is that you will rotate... Read More

Pace is where you want to be. As an alumni, I look back upon my time at Pace and all the things I have learned from my amazing classmates and instructors. Sure there are a few improvements the school could undergo but what is perfect? Your journey at Pace is up to you. Breathe in the New York oxygen because your time at Pace will be over in a New York minute! I miss you all BFA, BA Actors and the faculty members. And above all thank you Pace for accepting my application.

Your experience at Pace will be entirely up to you. This is the biggest cliche in the world but here we go, the city really is your campus. You have to take the initiative to seek out the abundant resources that can be available. Pace has an amazing reputation with internships. You can get your foot in the door and jump-start your career path.

After hopping around two different schools for the first year and a half of my undergrad, I felt immediately at home when I moved into my tiny 10x10 room on Fulton Street right in the hustle and bustle of the Financial District. Pace University was an experience that you cannot just get anywhere in any major city. It is mainly a commuter school - and there is no real "campus" feel. That is definitely what I disliked the most - the lack of community within the school. They have the main courtyard... Read More

Pace University has a great program for those pursuing a degree in Business. They also have a great career resource program, bringing top firms to the school for recruitment of future graduate. As I studied at Pace University and earned a degree in Public Accounting, I took advantage of the program offered, and was able to get a full-time job with a very reputable firm upon graduating school.

All physician assistant programs prepare you. Pace University is incredibly expensive. Four times expensive as some other New York programs. The quality of education does not meet the cost. The head of the program is defensive and a typical bureaucrat. Nothing about the program justifies the cost. You'd think for $120k+ you might get a PA only study room or free coffee but no dice. Facilities are underwhelming. Cost of living is incredibly high. Rotations can be anywhere in the tristate area. Go... Read More

Pace University has two great campuses as well as a law school. One of the campuses is located in the heart of the financial district in lower Manhattan with a great view of the Brooklyn Bridge. The other campus is in Pleasantville with amazing new facilities and a campus life! All have great faculties and research activities. Pace University offers a wide variety of programs from undergraduate to graduate to doctoral a little something for everyone!

Pace University has amazing professors and students. The professors are all always willing to help and make themselves available to you. The coursework is rigorous, but not impossible to keep up with. There is so much to do right at your doorstep because you are in the city. Pace also has a lot of fun events to make all students feel welcome and included. All the students are always so nice and there is so much diversity and uniqueness.

I attended Pace University's Lubin School of business for three semesters in order to obtain a Masters of Science in Investment Management. The most valuable resource at Pace is the faculty, which is comprised of full time professors as well as part-time faculty who are also employed at firm in and around New York City.

Pace is a school experience that is extremely dependent on you as a student. You will find both insightful professors and professors that will just dictate material to you., but the good professors absolutely stand out. If you are a business student, there are a myriad of opportunities for you to get real world experience in your field of interests through internship opportunities. That being said, student life leads much to be desired. There is not a lot of diversity on the campus when it comes... Read More

The program itself is very easy, on the undergraduate level for the most part. The tenured professors don't have much contribution in the world of academia or in proffesional settings. The adjuncts bring a fresh perspective when they are allowed to create their own lessons or else it it easy to find the templates and assignments they teach from. The core classes vastly vary in difficulty depending on who teaches and the electives that are advertised are only seldom offered. There is a big focus on... Read More

The accounting program could be the best program in the school. Pace University has excellent career services to support student to find internship or full time job. The New York campus is next to wall street , where all the major companies in finance industry are located at, and it explained the reason of the high employment rate.
