5 reasons Pace’s Lubin School of Business gets you where you want to go

If you’re interested in studying business, the Lubin School of Business has it all: excellent rankings, amazing programs and career prospects, and New York City at your doorstep.

Lubin is one of seven schools and colleges at Pace University. When you study at Lubin, you’ll be able to take courses at either the modern New York City campus or the scenic Westchester campus — the choice is up to you!

Here are five reasons why the Lubin School of Business is a great place to study.

1. Top-ranked school

Lubin is in the top 7% of US colleges for providing the best return on tuition investment (Payscale.com 2024) for business majors! In fact, the average full-time salary of international Pace graduates from the class of 2023 is $80,072. Lubin also ranks in the top 130 in the world for MBA programs — and has exceptional bachelor’s programs too.

Lubin also has a dual accreditation in business and accounting by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International — an elite distinction shared by less than 2% of schools offering business degree programs across the world!

The AACSB is the longest-serving global accrediting body for business schools, and Lubin’s dual accreditation demonstrates that it meets strict standards for quality education. As a student at Lubin, this means you’ll receive an excellent education from faculty members with first-class industry expertise.

2. Exceptional programs across subject areas

At Lubin, you can expect rigorous academics, applied learning, and industry-leading professors.

When you apply through Kaplan, you’ll have access to both bachelor’s (BBA) and master’s (MBA or MS) programs at Lubin School of Business, with degrees including:

• Business Analytics (BBA & MBA)
• Entertainment Management ( BBA & MS)
• International Management (BBA & MBA)
• Entrepreneurship (BBA)
• Marketing Analytics (MS)

There are also several STEM-classified Business degrees available for both students in subject areas such as marketing analytics, accounting data analytics and technologies, financial management, and the new Financial Operations and Technology program! This means that after graduation from a STEM degree, you’ll be eligible for up to three years of Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the US.

Lubin boasts a flexible MBA program that only requires 39 credits for completion (18-months full-time), so you can begin your career faster and get ahead of the curve. If you’re interested in an MS program, Lubin has you covered: its MS programs will help you build critical business skills and a professional network.

Whatever you choose, Lubin’s programs offer the perfect blend of theory and practice. And with Lubin’s experiential-based learning, your professors continue to work in their field, meaning they bring real-world experience from working in New York to their lessons, getting you better prepared for life after graduation.

3. Cutting-edge facilities

Whether you study at the New York City or Westchester campus, you’ll have easy access to modern, high-tech facilities.

For instance, the Lubin School of Business building — located in the heart of New York City’s Financial District — is home to the Bloomberg Lab (also known as the Trading Room), a computer lab equipped with various statistical and analytical software, and a real-time stock ticker that’s more accurate than the one in Times Square!

Other facilities include the:

• Barry and Jackie Gosin Active Learning Lab, equipped with a stock ticker and news feed (NYC Campus)
• EY Accounting Lab staffed by peer tutors who provide support with accounting courses (Westchester Campus)
• Marketing Lab and Interactive Direct Marketing Lab (Westchester Campus)

You’ll also get to take advantage of Lubin’s six outstanding centers, including the Pace Entrepreneurship Studio, where students can grow and develop their start-ups with support from Pace faculty and business professionals.

4. Great career prospects and preparation

Students at Pace are encouraged to take advantage of internships, so you’ll be well prepared for post-graduation opportunities! Lubin students can even earn academic credit for a Business related internship. The University has one of the largest internship programs in the NY metropolitan area — over 10,000 regional and national organizations across sectors partner with Pace.

Lubin also offers the Lubin Pace Path, a dynamic program designed to provide students a one-of-a-kind professional experience. It incorporates classroom and hands-on experience to better prepare students for the career of their choice.

With over 76,000 alumni working across the world, Lubin graduates have enjoyed very successful careers. 96% of Lubin’s 2023 master’s degree graduates are employed or continuing their education. Alumni can be found at world-class companies such as Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Louis Vuitton, Paramount Pictures, and the big four accounting firms (Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PwC).

5. Be at the center of the business world

Pace University has over 100 student organizations, so you’ll have plenty of chances to get involved, meet new people, and prepare for your career. You could join the Entrepreneurship Club to study and immerse yourself in the startup community, or the American Marketing Association to learn how to market yourself and network successfully. Whatever your interests are, you’re sure to find a club for you!

And of course, living in New York means you’ll be steps away from Wall Street and close to world-renowned businesses, diverse community, and a vibrant arts scene. In Westchester, you’ll be near the 170+ businesses headquartered there, including Fortune 500 companies — and only a 45-minute shuttle bus away from New York City!

With an amazing culinary scene and more than 700 languages spoken in the city, it’s no wonder New York City is ranked the #2 student city in the USA (QS Best Student Cities 2025). The city is also home to some of the top 100 biggest companies, including IBM and Christian Dior.

Whichever campus you choose, the opportunities for expanding your interests or investing in your career are endless.
