So i plan on majoring in finance and i’ve been accepted into Pace’s pforzheimer honors college and also accepted into regular Baruch. I’m struggling on which one to attend. Pace has some really good combined programs i like, more of a campus than Baruch’s one building and is also highly ranked in internships as well, but Baruch is regarded as one of the best business schools and very affordable. I want to make a decision based mostly off academics and future opportunities, though. So tuition aside, what college is better? Pace and Baruch alumni would be helpful in answering, thank you.
What is the net price for each? These are two comparable schools, the graduates compete head to head for jobs, so you can’t go wrong from either. The Pace honor college should have some merit scholarships coming, wait for the whole FA packages before deciding.
Yeah, i’ve recieved all financial aid stuff. If i went to pace i’d have to pay about 20-21k and at baruch i’d pay 7-8k. Again i do know the tuition is a large difference but if pace is worth it i’m willing to pay that. So i really wanna know which college is better academically, for opportunities and a good experience all around
You are on pace board, opinion will be biased. Anyway, the classes in pace are much smaller, at least you have a better chance to get an impression from the profs. In addition, pace is in walking distance to Wall Street where jobs are easier to find.
Academically it’s hard to say.
Were you accepted at pleasantville? Pace in westchester actually has a stronger business program than the one in the city- well bigger I guess would be the word. I would look at requirements. Come meet with an advisor and weigh everything out, pace is expensive. Just some things about the business program however:
Pace is one of 2% of school in the WORLD that is accredited for business and accounting
Pace Students are required to hold 2 internships as a graduation requirement
Pace is connected to many fortune 500 companies including Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan
Pace career service counselors will always be available to support you, years after you graduate
Truthfully I would think long and hard becuase pace is pricey- and i’m saying this from an admission/tour guide viewpoint.
