Pace University - Overview

Pace Institute began its transformation after World War II into a modern university with emphasis on the liberal arts and sciences. With dynamic leadership and fiscally sound management, Pace grew from rented facilities and few resources into one of the largest universities in New York State, with a multimillion dollar physical plant, an endowment of nearly $100 million and a reputation for excellent teaching and talented, ambitious graduates.

From its origins as an institute with an excellent business curriculum that prepared men and women for careers in accounting, Pace’s Lubin School of Business has continued to improve, building its reputation for excellence in business education. The University founded the Lienhard School of Nursing, the School of Law, the School of Education, and the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems in response to the need for strong professionals in other disciplines.

Together Pace University’s six schools and colleges provide outstanding professional preparation that meets the needs of employers in the New York metropolitan area and around the globe.

Now over 100 years old, Pace is a private, metropolitan university located in New York City and Westchester County whose six schools and one college offer a wide range of academic and professional programs.

Educating achievers who are engaged with critical issues both locally and globally, the University enrolls more than 14,000 students in bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral programs. Pace is building an increasing array of study abroad options, a healthy mentoring program that has produced 27 Fulbright scholars in the last seven years, and a focus on international recruitment.
