Pace University

What you'll study

The programme builds a foundation in core business disciplines—accounting, finance, marketing, management and business law—while layering courses that address the complexities of doing business across borders. Typical modules include International Economics, Global Strategic Management, International Marketing, Cross-Cultural Management, International Finance and Trade and Customs Compliance. Students are often able to study a foreign language and take electives in areas such as supply chain and logistics, international entrepreneurship, emerging markets and comparative business systems.

Coursework emphasises applied learning: case studies, team projects, presentations and a capstone or international business practicum. Many students complete internships in New York City or abroad and can take part in short-term field experiences or semester exchange programmes with partner institutions. The curriculum is designed to develop analytical, communication and intercultural skills needed for global business roles.

Entry requirements

Applicants typically need a recognised secondary-school qualification. Admissions consider academic transcripts, a personal statement or essay, and, where provided, letters of recommendation. Pace University has a test-optional policy for standardised tests; applicants may submit test scores if they feel these strengthen their application. International applicants must demonstrate English proficiency through recognised tests or equivalent qualifications, unless exempted by prior education in English.

Successful candidates usually show evidence of quantitative ability and an interest in global affairs or languages. Transfer applicants are assessed on college transcripts and credit evaluation. Meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee admission—selection is based on the overall strength of the application.

Career prospects

Graduates enter a wide range of roles in multinational corporations, financial institutions, consulting firms, logistics and supply-chain companies, import/export businesses, and government or non-governmental organisations. Common job titles include international marketing coordinator, trade compliance analyst, global supply-chain analyst, business development associate, and export/import specialist.

Skills developed in the programme—global market analysis, cross-cultural communication, foreign language ability and practical internship experience—also provide a strong foundation for postgraduate study in international business, international relations, law or specialised business masters programmes.
