About Us
For more than 70 years, Pace University has prepared educators to help students learn, grow, and realize their potential. Education at Pace combines a strong foundation in the liberal arts and sciences with professionally focused teacher preparation, meaningful fieldwork, and close partnerships with schools and communities.
Our graduate programs prepare reflective and innovative educators for today’s diverse learning environments. Through small classes, personalized faculty mentorship, and hands-on classroom experience, students develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make a difference in schools and communities.
Our approach to educator preparation
Pace students learn that effective teaching requires more than subject knowledge. It requires an understanding of how students learn, an ability to respond to different needs, and a commitment to creating environments where every learner can succeed.
Coursework and field experiences help future educators connect educational theory with classroom practice. Students learn to evaluate their own teaching, make informed instructional decisions, use technology responsibly, and build meaningful relationships with students, families, colleagues, and communities.
What defines Education at Pace
Pace partners with teachers, school leaders, districts, and community organizations to meet the evolving needs of students and schools. Through these partnerships, Pace students gain hands-on experience through fieldwork and student teaching across New York City and the Lower Hudson Valley.
Students learn from experienced educators and scholars who provide individual guidance throughout their academic and professional journeys.
Our programs prepare educators to recognize students’ individual strengths, respond to different learning needs, and create inclusive classrooms where all students have the opportunity to thrive.
