Pace University

Pace University is a private, non‑profit institution of higher education that provides undergraduate, graduate and professional degree programs across a wide range of disciplines including business, law, arts and sciences, health professions and education. The university serves a diverse student body drawn from across the United States and abroad, offering both traditional classroom instruction and experiential learning opportunities such as internships, co‑op placements and community‑based projects. Its academic offerings are organized into several schools and colleges, each responsible for curriculum development, faculty recruitment and program accreditation in their respective fields. Pace emphasizes a career‑focused approach to education, integrating professional skills development with liberal arts foundations to prepare students for immediate workforce entry or advanced study. The institution also supports research initiatives and scholarly activity that contribute to knowledge creation and regional economic development.

Operating from multiple campuses located in New York City and Westchester County, Pace University enrolls approximately thirteen thousand students and employs a substantial faculty and staff workforce to support its academic and administrative functions. The university is recognized for its strong programs in business and law, notably the Lubin School of Business and the Elisabeth Haub School of Law, which have earned national rankings and accreditation from relevant professional bodies. Pace’s distinguishing attributes include its emphasis on experiential learning, a robust network of alumni professionals, and a commitment to social justice and community engagement through various service‑learning initiatives. As an independent, privately governed entity, Pace University is not a subsidiary of any larger corporation or governmental body, and its governance is overseen by a board of trustees responsible for fiduciary oversight and strategic direction. The institution’s historical mission of providing access to higher education continues to shape its policies and institutional priorities.
