Pace University is committed to providing the best possible private education to a diverse and talented student body at each Pace University location. The University’s continuous commitment to Opportunities must be retained, strengthened and, when necessary, redefined in an uncertain world where many are excluded from the full benefits of higher education due to economic and social factors beyond their control. Pace’s sustained emphasis on excellence will be a constant, which will guide decision-making regarding academic programs and other endeavors. In a world of increasing interdependence, Pace must strengthen its international efforts and continue its significant investment in technology. In addition, the University’s commitment to self-evaluation and civic engagement must remain as major goals. All of this must be accomplished during a time of considerable economic change and in the context of strengthening Pace’s own financial base.
< CollapsePace University is a private, co-educational, and comprehensive multi-campus university in the New York metropolitan area with campuses in New York City and Westchester County, New York. Pace was founded by two brothers, Homer S. Pace and Charles A. Pace, in 1906, initially as a business school for men and women.
The environmental law program at the Pace University School of Law has received national accolades from the annual report on law schools done by US News and World Report and The Princeton Review; it ranks number three in the nation in environmental law.
Similarly, the graduate program of the family nurse practitioner in the Lienhard School of Nursing is ranked in the top ten such programs nationally, and has only two top-tier peers in the northeast United States -- (Yale and Columbia).
The Lubin School of Business is among fewer than three percent of business schools internationally with dual accreditation from AACSB International, which is regarded as being the most prestigious business accreditations worldwide. The MBA program has consistently ranked among the top 20 programs nationwide, while the undergraduate business program ranks among the top 50 private university business programs in the country and among the top four undergraduate business programs in New York City.
Furthermore, the only Actors Studio MFA program in the United States is located at Pace. Pace University's Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts is home to the television show Inside the Actors Studio hosted by James Lipton, and previously to the late Tony Randall's National Actors Theatre.
In 1906, the Pace brothers founded the firm of Pace & Pace to operate their schools of accountancy and business. The first class of Pace & Pace was composed of thirteen men and women who were taught by Homer St. Clair Pace and Charles Ashford Pace. Taking a loan of $600, the Pace brothers rented a classroom on one of the floors of the New York Tribune building, today the site of the One Pace Plaza complex. Due to rapid growth over the succeeding years, the school was forced to relocate several times around the Lower Manhattan area.

Best Answer
Definitely not.
It might be worth it to pay full price for a school if the school was very elite and they had a program that you were very excited about. But Pace is not elite and the hospitality industry is not a place where you can quickly make a big salary and pay back huge loans. I think you would be way better off in a state school studying business administration and then go into a training program with one of the big hotel companies after you finish. You will have just as good a career in the end and you will be many $10,000's ahead!
Not worth it.!

Pace University is a great college and they continually are ranked high. I know their business school is pretty good and law school is pretty good too (#3 in environmental law). however, I'm not sure how there psych. department ranks or is rated. Its like my grandfather told me, "Its not where you go, its what you do while you're there and after you're gone."
