Pace's New York City campus is in Lower Manhattan, next to City Hall, the Brooklyn Bridge and Wall Street. It also has campuses in Pleasantville and White Plains in Westchester County, north of the city.

New York City offers unmatched internship and career opportunities in finance, technology and media, but living costs are high.

For international students

Pace welcomes students from Pakistan for bachelor's and master's programmes, with intakes in August (fall) and January (spring). You will need academic transcripts and an English test such as TOEFL, IELTS or Duolingo.

After admission, the university issues a Form I-20, which you use to pay the SEVIS fee and apply for an F-1 student visa at the US Embassy or Consulate. On an F-1 visa you can usually work on campus part-time, and after graduating you may be eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT): 12 months, plus up to 24 more months for eligible STEM degrees.
