{ Lucia Martinez ’09, Public Accounting } Westchester
There’s no better way to prepare for the real world than by living in it. What are you doing for the next four years? How about working as a portfolio manager for Smith Barney, producing reality television shows for MTV, or teaching at a middle school in New York City? What about conducting cancer research, being a data analyst for an investment bank on Wall Street, or creating software programs for IBM? No matter which Pace campus you choose, our highly respected internship program—one of the largest in metropolitan New York—opens the doors to incredible work opportunities long before you graduate. With the world’s top companies right at your doorstep— and the unparalleled internship culture in New York—just imagine the résumé you’ll have after four years. Of course, you won’t always be working. You’ll still have plenty of time to take in the sights and sounds of the greatest city in the world—just outside your door or a short train ride away. You don’t have to wait until graduation to enter the real world. At Pace, you’re already in it.
The Pace academic experience prepares you for the greatest test of all–the day you graduate and start your first full-time professional job. You’ll never lose sight of your end goal— your professors won’t let you. They’ll push you every day to excel beyond your own expectations. They’ll challenge you at every turn to think, feel, experience, debate, and listen. They’ll be your sounding board, your mentor, your counselor, and your friend. But then again, they’ve got the perfect setting: the Pace classroom. It’s inspiring, interactive, and challenging. Every day Pace offers real-life lessons that will leave you feeling proud, confident, and equipped with the tools and experience to succeed in life. It’s not surprising. Our exceptionally rigorous academics have already tested your perseverance and drive to excel, so that when you graduate, you’ll feel prepared to take on the world.
With Pace University’s Simulated Trading Lab, you can develop trading strategies for Wall Street while sitting at One Pace Plaza. With real-time data at your fingertips, you’ll gain invaluable real-life experience. “Having gone through simulations at the lab, our students appreciate how market participants, without a clearly formulated strategy, can be left behind by ruthlessly efficient financial markets. It’s a big advantage our students will have when they graduate.” — Professor Padma Kadiyala, PhD
{ Gbadebo Williams ’11, Business Economics } New York City Pace classes are small, with an average of just 28 students. So you can expect your professors to have the time to focus on you as an individual, not just a number.
CAREER PREPARATION
At Pace University you’ll have the opportunity to combine classroom theory and on-the-job experience, while earning a salary and discovering if a career path is for you—all before you graduate. Our Cooperative and Career Services program is one of the largest of its kind in metropolitan New York. Each year, more than 1,100 Pace students work in internship positions at more than 500 companies. And we’re not talking about getting coffee, stuffing envelopes, and answering phones. These are professional jobs, providing real-world experience in some of the world’s top companies and organizations. Pace Career Services will help you figure out who you want to be and help get you there.

Last year, Pace graduates pursued graduate degrees at many prestigious institutions, including:
For a year and a half I interned at The Advertising Council—the nation’s leading producer of public service advertising. As I gained experience I was given more responsibilities including writing for our national newsletter, working with outside vendors, and coordinating departmental billings and budgets. My experience has helped me to gain strength and knowledge in the business world, and land a summer job at Goldman Sachs. Taking advantage of internship opportunities from Pace around the city allowed me to gain valuable experience that I know will help me start a successful career when I graduate.

Top 10 Employers Hiring Most Pace Students
No one can teach you to be great. It comes from within. But challenged by exceptional academics and outstanding work opportunities, you’ll work toward greatness every day at Pace. Work toward greatness is not simply a tag line at Pace—we live and breathe it every day. How? We’ll let a few of our students tell you.
Dhwani: Whenever you are doing something positive—no matter how simple or small— you are working toward greatness. Joe: To me, greatness is about fulfilling my dream and doing something that makes me happy while giving back to others. I also continue to improve myself to bring greatness to everyone around me. Sarah: It’s nerve-wracking to think about leaving Pace. But I know that I will be fully prepared to succeed in anything I do. I will take the strength of the inner greatness I’ve gained here wherever life takes me. Raj: Pace has challenged me to be all that I can—to put more than 100 percent into everything I do and to work harder and strive for greatness every day. Michael: Pace has given me the opportunity to explore many different areas of study, and has given me the ability to make an educated decision on my future. Lauren: Pace has supplied me with enough guidance and knowledge to enable me to make it in this competitive world. I could not have asked for more from a university.
There is greatness within us all. Sometimes you just need the right opportunity to find it.

Competition for Fulbright Scholarships is incredible. But then, so is Raj Shrestha, who was a member of Pace’s Pforzheimer Honors College, a Lubin Leader and Scholar, member of business honor societies, and, most recently, a Fulbright Scholar. Raj received a Fulbright grant to Nepal to research the alleviation of poverty through the use of microcredit. He is studying the socioeconomic impact of the Nepalese private banking systems and work in partnership with rural cooperatives and cottage industries, with the hopes that his work will ultimately lead to improvements in the system. The Lubin School of Business has helped provide the foundation he needs to succeed. “Lubin has an incredible reputation—and you can’t beat its location,” notes Raj, who transferred to Pace from a small liberal arts school when he decided to major in business. “With its small classes, individual attention, and professional internships, Pace has truly challenged me to live up to my fullest potential.”
Lubin Points of Distinction: Dually accredited for business and accounting by AACSB International, The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business—the premier accrediting organization for business schools in the world. Fewer than three percent of business schools internationally have this dual accreditation. Undergraduate business program is ranked among the top undergraduate programs in U.S.News & World Report. Largest private, four-year AACSB accredited undergraduate business program in metropolitan NY and the fifth largest private program in the U.S.
Lubin Notable Alumni include: Herb Henkel ’79, chaiman,
president, and CEO of Ingersoll-Rand Company; Melvin Karmazin ’79, CEO of Sirius Satellite Radio; William C. Nelson ’75, chairman and CEO of HBO; James Quinn ’80, president of Tiffany & Co.; Ivan G. Seidenberg ’81, chairman and CEO of Verizon; and Marie Toulantis ’81, CEO of Barnes&Noble.com.
BusinessWeek lists Pace University as one of the “Best Northeastern Colleges in the U.S. by Salary Potential.” Pace graduates earn a starting median salary of $53,200, only a few thousand less than graduates of Yale University, putting Pace among the top 50 colleges in the nation.

From the Lubin School of Business to Nepal to alleviate poverty through the use of microcredit. That’s where Raj headed. Just imagine where your degree from Lubin will take you.

We’re literally located in the midst of the world’s financial center, surrounded by hundreds of companies, many topping the Fortune 100 list. Lubin students at our Westchester campus in Pleasantville have the same advantage, with the headquarters of many of the world’s leading corporations located nearby throughout Westchester County and southern Connecticut.

And Pace, with its focus on both theory and application, along with amazing professors, has given me the foundation I need.” 22
Seidenberg Points of Distinction: One of the first comprehensive schools of computing in the country. The Seidenberg School was one of three schools nationwide and the first computing school to receive the 2006 ABET President’s Award for Diversity in recognition of its efforts to provide a supportive atmosphere for its diverse student body and to encourage young women to enter the field of computing. Seidenberg was cited by Crain’s New York Business as one of the top five grantors of technology degrees awarded in the New York metropolitan area. Women make up 32 percent of the Seidenberg student body compared to approximately 20 percent nationwide. Seidenberg students have received full scholarships plus stipends from the Department of Defense to study information assurance every year for the past three years. Each year Pace grants scholarships to top high school students pursuing careers in computing through the Ivan G. Seidenberg ’81 endowment.
Pace Mentor Jonathan Hill
Joe worked for Tungsten Partners and Morgan Stanley. And that was before he even started his final year of study with the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems.

Our 90 full- and part-time educators are exemplary, too. In fact, many are leaders in their fields, including Susan M. Merritt, PhD, who received the Martin Luther King Jr. Excellence in Social Justice Award, and Christelle Scharff, PhD and Olly Gotel, PhD, who teach a course in software engineering where students collaborate across time zones with students in Cambodia and India to complete projects. The majority of Seidenberg students participate in the Pace Cooperative Education program, one of the largest in the New York metropolitan area. Employers include IBM, Bloomberg, Lead Technologies, Morgan Stanley, PepsiCo, and Time Warner Cable, to name just a few. And through the Seidenberg Scholars Program, funded by a $15 million endowment from Verizon CEO Ivan G. Seidenberg ’81, we offer scholarships to top high school students pursuing careers in computing.
Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems
Founded in 1983 as one of the country’s first comprehensive schools of computing, the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems has been educating technology leaders longer than most other universities. Today, the Seidenberg School offers undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees, with scheduling at multiple locations, selective courses available online, and travel courses to India, England, and France. Our broad spectrum of courses ranges from Web technologies and game programming to data mining and project management. Our program is also one of only a small percentage nationwide that focuses on pattern recognition, security, and robotics. One student, Oz Michaeli ’09, saw Pace’s Robotics Lab, and it was love at first sight! He, along with his professor and a team of graduate and undergraduate students, have succeeded in giving the robot “Alexandra” 3-D vision. With Pace students creating new ways to see, Alexandra may one day be able to help save lives in hospital and military settings.

Up close and personal. Whether he’s testing cell function under a microscope or discussing the big picture with his professors, Gabriel De Leon says Pace’s small class sizes and access to faculty are the keys to success. While he plans to enter a doctorate program for cellular and molecular biology in the future, Gabriel values the personal, close-knit nature of Pace’s undergraduate experience, specifically his relationships with his professors. He says, “some graduate students do not even have this opportunity, let alone undergraduates.”
Dyson Points of Distinction Professor Emerita of English Jean Fagin Yellin, PhD was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for Women and Sisters: the Anti-Slavery Feminists in American Culture (1990). She was also awarded a Ford Foundation Grant in 2004 of $100,000, in part to complete her two-volume edition of Harriet Jacobs’ papers called The Harriet Jacobs Family Papers. Yellin also won the prestigious Frederick Douglass Prize for literature for her biography Harriet Jacobs: A Life. Five Musical Theater majors gained roles in Broadway National Tours this past summer.

In the Pace tradition, Dyson courses focus on the connection between theory and practical experience. Simply put, we make learning relevant to your life. For example, students of JaimeLee Rizzo, PhD support her in the research of antimicrobial compounds that can be permanently bonded onto fabrics, membranes, and wound dressings to kill fungus and bacteria on contact. Such compounds, for which Rizzo had two patents on antimicrobial surfaces awarded and has seven patents pending (two with Johnson & Johnson on wound dressings), may have lifesaving applications for hospital emergency room patients, among other uses. Most students also get a taste of the real world through many internships and work experiences. Students like Alessia Eramo ’07, a Dyson student who conducted environmental research on a Queens, New York neighborhood, or Dhwani Patel ’07, who, after having taught children in an after-school program in Chinatown, is now in Hong Kong on a Fulbright Scholarship to teach English to Asian school children.

{ Sarah Wood ’09, Nursing } Westchester
It’s intense and demanding. But it pays off. The overwhelming majority of Pace nursing graduates pass their licensure exams the first time. And go on to get great jobs. The Lienhard School of Nursing offers something most other nursing schools don’t. As a first-year student, you’ll take your first nursing course so that by your second year, you’re ready to start your first hands-on clinical experience. You’ll have the chance to work at such outstanding health care institutions as Mt. Sinai Hospital Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Northern Westchester Hospital, and the Visiting Nurse Service of New York. And you’ll learn through exposure to cutting-edge theory, technique, and technology. With these advantages, you’ll be ready to move on to a full-time job when you graduate. And with your degree from Pace, you won’t have any trouble finding a great opportunity.
Pace Mentor Robert Browner, PhD Sarah Wood ’08 dreaded anatomy and physiology. But as she recalls, the more she talked one-on-one with Professor Browner, the more she liked the course. “He was always willing to stay after class and give us whatever extra help we needed.”

Why do senior nursing students at Pace feel so well prepared for their licensure exams? Sarah Wood attributes this to the dedicated professors, the classroom environment, and hands-on experience in the hospital setting, which began her second-year, a full year earlier than many other programs. “When you’re in the hospital, your learning increases exponentially because it’s easier to remember something when you can associate it with something you actually did.”

The grant also allowed for the creation of the Center for Teaching and Research in Autism. “There are more than 4,000 students in New York City with autism,” says Zager, “And there is a shortage of teachers in the city. It just makes sense that Pace should be stepping in and providing this training.”

FINANCIAL AID
A college education is an investment that will return value throughout your lifetime.
For more information on our outstanding financial aid program or to apply for financial aid, visit

PACE.edu/financialaid
To help make college more affordable, Pace offers an extensive financial aid program to its students. University-sponsored scholarships are awarded to students on the basis of academic merit, service to the community and financial need. Last year students at Pace received more than $201 million in aid overall, with 95% of first-year students receiving some type of financial aid. Financial assistance can come from many places, including scholarships, grants, on-campus employment, and loans. There are also school-specific scholarships available (details for these are outlined on each school Web site). Merit-based aid is based on SAT scores, high school GPA, extracurricular activities, and other factors. Need-based aid is based on academic qualification and demonstrated financial need. Our goal is to offer every student as much financial assistance as possible based upon availability and need. And as long as there is adequate funding and you remain eligible, most financial aid is renewed on a yearly basis. To apply, simply complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by February 15. You can continue to file after this date; however, that consideration for funds will be given on a first-come basis.

That is probably the question students and their families ask most. The answer, of course, depends on your family’s particular circumstances. On this page are some samples of actual Pace Students and the financial aid packages they received. As you can see, there is a wide range of ways to finance your education.
