A Strong New York-Based Path to Success

UNDERGRADUATE

• A Plan for Success – In the Classroom and Beyond

Pace’s undergraduate students can choose among 100+ majors as well as accelerated bachelor’s + graduate combined degree programs.  You also have the unique advantage of taking part in the Pace Path – a personal, academic, and professional development plan, starting the freshman year, which is designed to make you market-ready to successfully launch careers after graduation.  That written plan is enhanced with your choice of academic programs, real-world professional experiences, one-to-one mentoring and coaching, and our robust career services center focused on placing graduates in that first job or Optional Practical Training (OPT) opportunity. 

Your personal plan can be tailored as you progress through your time at Pace.  With an average classroom size of 19 students, your professors will get to know you personally and will push you to think, feel, experience, listen, and debate.
