I am trying to decide between Pace and Fordham LC, how do these compare academically? Also I have heard a lot about fordham kids having to take a TON of core work before learning about their actual interest of study, is this accurate?
-IMO Fordham is far superior academically (for full disclosure my S went to Fordham).
-Fordham does have a large core curriculum (which you can find on the school website) which you take concurrently with classes in your major.
This is not a close call - Fordham business programs are excellent and well regarded by NYC employers.
