Pace+University

Pace University is a private university with seven campuses in Weschester county and New York city. On the undergarduate level, it is known for its programs in accounting, buisness, computer science and nursing. They have also been building a local reputation in the field of education. This is primarily due to their graduate programs for people returning for an education degree. Pace's graduate education programs are popular with career changers just entering the teaching arena. Other graduate programs include management, IT and finance. The also have a well respected law school in White Plains offering programs in law, comparitive, buisness and environmental law.

Pace is made up of over 60% commuters. I believe this is a function of their wide distribution of campuses and the fact that there is a convenient location for many to travel to from home or work. This does not seem to hinder the developement of a campus life for those that board. There are regular social events and several fraternities and sororities to give you a family away from home. There is also free tansportation between campuses.

I chose Pace because I was a working commuter and the Westchester campuses were conveniently located. I liked the small school setting with large school resources. I was also able to qualify for scholarship money that made attending a private university possible. ~Linda Burris [|Pace University]
