Pace University

What you'll study

The programme combines core business disciplines with applied projects and elective specialisations. Core modules typically cover financial accounting and managerial accounting, corporate finance, marketing management, operations and supply chain, organisational behaviour and leadership, strategic management, and business analytics. Students also study business law and ethics, quantitative methods for decision making, and data-driven marketing or finance tools.

Study is delivered through a mix of seminars, case studies, team projects and experiential components. Many students complete a capstone consulting project or practicum with a real organisation, and there are opportunities for internships in the New York City market. Elective options allow deeper focus in areas such as finance, digital marketing, supply chain, entrepreneurship, or data analytics, depending on availability and student interest.

Entry requirements

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in any discipline; degrees with strong quantitative content are advantageous for some specialisations.
• Academic transcripts demonstrating satisfactory undergraduate performance; graduates of non-business degrees may be asked to show evidence of quantitative readiness.
• Curriculum vitae or résumé detailing academic background and relevant professional experience.
• Personal statement or statement of purpose outlining motivations, career goals and fit with the programme.
• Letters of recommendation (typically one to three) from academic or professional referees.
• Standardised tests: some applicants may be asked to submit GMAT or GRE scores, though waivers are often available for candidates with significant professional experience or strong academic records—check the school for current policy.
• Proof of English language proficiency for international applicants (for example, IELTS or TOEFL), unless exempted by prior study in English or other institutional criteria.
• Selected applicants may be invited to an interview as part of the assessment process.

Career prospects

Graduates typically move into roles such as business analyst, financial analyst, marketing associate, operations or supply chain coordinator, project manager and management trainee positions. With suitable electives and internship experience, alumni also progress to specialist careers in corporate finance, digital marketing, consulting, supply chain management, fintech and entrepreneurship.

Pace’s proximity to New York City and its employer network supports access to internships and recruitment from finance houses, media and tech firms, consulting shops and growing start-ups.
