Legal Studies and Taxation Department
Get Ahead of the Curve
Unlike many other universities, Pace maintains a dedicated department for teaching legal studies and taxation courses. We offer several undergraduate and graduate business law/tax courses designed to supplement and enrich the various key fields of academic study at Pace. Our courses also aid in the development of critical thinking, analytical, negotiating, and oral and written communication skills—all of which are crucial for success in today's competitive corporate climate.
Our Programs
Through rigorous training in the legal and taxation consequences of business decisions, we prepare our students for professional success. Whether you're looking to level up with a graduate degree like our MS in Taxation, a combined BBA/MS to fast-track your career, or want to preliminarily explore the field through a law minor or pre-law minor, we offer a number of programs aimed to suit your future needs.

"The professors will demand a lot from you, but they will work with you, they want to help you, they want you to understand what they are talking about, and most of them are very excited about what they are talking about. They work in the field every day."
