Pace University is a private university with campuses in New York City and Westchester County, New York, United States. It was established in 1906 as a business school by the brothers Homer St. Clair Pace and Charles A. Pace. Pace enrolls about 13,000 students as of fall 2021 in bachelor's, master's and doctoral programs.
The numbers tell a mixed story here — a 61% graduation rate means nearly 4 in 10 students don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before committing. That said, median earnings of $66,800 a decade out are solid for a private university in this price range, and the New York City location opens real doors for internships and careers in business, finance, and media. Worth considering if you're drawn to the NYC network and have a clear major in mind, but go in with a plan — students who drift tend to be the ones who don't make it through.
