I'm evaluating some of my college options and wondering where Pace University stands in terms of national rankings or reputation, especially in business or communications programs. Any insight on their academic standing would be super helpful!
Pace University holds a solid reputation, particularly in the fields you're interested in.
In terms of overall national rankings, US News and World Report has placed Pace University as #217 in National Universities for the 2024-2025 academic year. However, it's within the individual program rankings where Pace really shines.
Their Lubin School of Business is quite well-regarded with multiple specialties recognized in national rankings. For example, their Entrepreneurship specialty was ranked #21 by the Princeton Review in 2023.
Similarly, the Communication Studies program at the Dyson College of Arts and Sciences consistently receives positive feedback. Though not specifically ranked nationally, it is well known for producing graduates who find success in a variety of communication and media-related fields.
That said, while rankings are a good starting point, always remember to consider factors like fit, faculty, campus culture, job placement rates, internship opportunities, and your personal interest in the curriculum. Consider reaching out to current students or recent alumni to get first-hand feedback. This information can be even more valuable than numerical rankings in determining if a university is the right fit for you.
