| Technology-Enhanced Learning Students are required to use Blackboard Internet technology for most business courses. Blackboard provides a virtual classroom environment in which students and faculty can access course materials over the Internet at any time from anywhere. This enhances the traditional classroom learning experience and facilitates online learning. Special Web-assisted sections of the Business Core courses are offered, which reduce the number of face-to-face class meetings. Majors Depending upon individual academic and career interests, a student may select either a business major that is highly structured and incorporates an intensive specialization, as in the case of public accounting, or one that has more flexible requirements and offers the opportunity to take elective courses. Students selecting a major program with a free elective component often use these credits to pursue a minor concentration or to explore the wide range of courses offered through the other college/schools of the University. Minors Business students with sufficient elective credits in their major program may wish to minor in an academic area of interest. Minors are offered in accounting, finance, law, management, marketing, computer science, information systems, and many liberal arts areas including: art, foreign languages, history, mathematics and political science. An interdisciplinary pre-law minor is also available for students considering law school. A business minor is also offered for non-business majors. Assessment of learning outcomes As part of its commitment to quality, the Lubin School of Business instituted an assessment program to track students' accomplishment of program-related learning goals. These broad goals go beyond the subject matter of individual courses. The learning goals fall into two broad categories: general education and management-specific education. General education includes goals related to critical thinking; problem solving; analysis; technological competency; effective writing and communication; quantitative reasoning; global, national and international perspectives; social responsibility and civic engagement; historical, literary, and artistic approaches; and scientific inquiry. General education goals are ordinarily accomplished through completion of the University Core Curriculum. Management-specific education focuses on learning how to operate successfully in a business setting. Some of these goals overlap with general education goals, but management-specific goals relate directly to performance in business. Management-specific goals include business communication; critical thinking, problem solving, and decision-making; interpersonal interaction, social responsibility, and ethics; global citizenship; and knowledge and skills related to the Business Core and major. Students, working alone and in teams, complete the assessments as part of their regular course activities. The results of the assessments are then combined across courses for analysis. The findings become the basis for program improvements. Objectives Within the context of the Lubin School's mission, the goal of the baccalaureate business program is to prepare students for successful business careers in a global economy. This is achieved by providing students with the knowledge, skills and experiences needed to meet the challenges and opportunities of a global business market characterized by complexity, uncertainty and diversity. Specifically, the BBA program strives to:
In addition to using their Lubin undergraduate experience to build successful careers in business, BBA graduates are well prepared for careers in government, education, healthcare, and other fields. Lubin graduates often use their well-recognized undergraduate degree as a stepping-stone to continuing their education through graduate study, particularly in business and law. Faculty Accomplished members of their fields and also devoted teachers, Pace professors co-author papers and attend conferences—with students. And since many of our professors are active members of the business community, they have insider knowledge of the professions you're interested in, and the companies to which you will apply. Lubin faculty is comprised of accomplished practitioners and scholars who offer students a stimulating and interactive learning experience. Their research is often quoted in publications such as Fortune, Business Week and The Wall Street Journal. Even though Pace business professors are professionally active, they are never too busy for their students. Because classes in the Lubin School are small, averaging 25 students, they provide a supportive environment for learning. Acting as mentors both inside and outside the classroom, Lubin faculty guide students in their progress with course work, special research projects, and extracurricular activities. Lubin's faculty bring a commitment to teaching in the best sense of the word by sharing their personal experiences, advising you on your career goals, and sharing their own connections in the larger business community. Campus Locations Pace's Manhattan campus gives you immediate access to the vast cultural richness of one of the world's greatest cities. Museums; great neighborhoods like Chinatown, Little Italy, Chelsea, and Tribeca (home of the world-famous Tribeca Film Festival); Central Park; quiet walks along the East and Hudson rivers; massive libraries; Wall Street; Broadway—all provide you with an incomparable setting and an education with an edge. Four residence halls provide diverse housing options for New York City students. On 200 acres of rolling tree-covered hills, our Pleasantville campus is close enough to take advantage of the city's cultural and internship resources, but removed enough to provide a more traditional and serene small college environment for your studies. Pace's NCAA Division II teams call Pleasantville home, and you will find our state-of-the-art Ann & Goldstein Health, Fitness, and Recreation Center, which features a 2,400 seat arena, eight-lane swimming pool, fitness/weight room, walking and jogging track, aerobics room, and training facility. Seven housing options are available to suit the needs of residential students. Click to arrange Campus Tours and Information Sessions, or take a virtual tour of our campuses. |

Pace wasn't just a school, it was my home. The faculty and administration of Lubin and Pace made it possible for a 16-year-old boy from Tashkent, Uzbekistan who could hardly speak English to become an investment banker on Wall Street, to become a community serviceman and an individual, all in three years. If you're willing to work hard, the people at Pace will help you reach your goals." Timur Rakhmanov, BBA '05 Analyst, UBS  "The foundation that I got here at Pace really was able to get me through [a prestigious one-year, full-time Chase training program]. You should feel proud of the education that you are getting at Lubin. In the end it's the hard work, the persistence, the determination, the discipline, and the focus that are going to get you where you want to go." Marie Toulantis, BBA '81 former CEO, Barnes & Noble.com
