Key Summary
Introduction
Diversify your academic experience with a computer science degree that offers the flexibility you want. You’ll learn fundamental theory and apply that knowledge to real projects that build your portfolio, empowering you to build the tech innovations of the future.
The Value Proposition
- Get the fundamentals down then specialize with a minor like IT, information assurance in the criminal justice system, digital design, economics, marketing, business, or mathematics.
- Build your portfolio with project-based learning that develops your skills, teamwork, and passion.
- Internships with New York companies give you on-the-job experience and complement your studies
Add Opportunities and Experiences
Unlock international travel, interdisciplinary collaboration, and intercollegiate experiences through the New York City Design Factory programs. These for-credit experiences will see you traveling to partner universities in Finland, Portugal, Geneva, and many other incredible locations to build real products for real companies.
Plenty of on-campus (and online) opportunities are available for you to get hands-on learning experience and work on projects with classmates, too. Pace Computing Society, Seidenberg Tech Collective, Cybersecurity Club, Pace Women in Tech, and other student clubs meet regularly throughout the semester. And then there’s our labs—the Cybersecurity Education and Research Lab, the Robotics Lab, the Networking and Data Science Lab—all of these are available for you to work with faculty guidance on honing your skills.
