Pace University News

The Hechinger Report’s recent story on how colleges are easing the admissions process as the supply of applicants declines—featuring Pace—was picked up by The Los Angeles Times.

Lohud visited Pace’s Pleasantville campus this week to learn more about Westchester’s first Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence, launching in Fall 2026. Interim Seidenberg Dean Li-Chiou Chen said the new program is designed to “stay ahead of the curve” as AI reshapes the tech workforce, offering students a rigorous foundation in computer science and math before advancing to specialized coursework in neural networks, machine learning, language processing, and AI ethics.

Bloomberg leads the week, featuring Pace University’s Fed Challenge Team in its Economics Daily Newsletter after winning the 22nd Annual National College Fed Challenge—an extraordinary national achievement. Pace topped finalists Harvard College and UCLA.

 The Hechinger Report features a major story on how colleges are easing the admissions process as the supply of applicants declines — and Pace University dominates the piece from start to finish. Reported entirely from Pace’s Pleasantville Campus, the story uses Pace as its primary case study, with a picturesque array of campus photos and the lead narrative following families on a Pace tour. It highlights Pace’s participation in New York State’s application-fee waiver month and its additional offer of $1,000 per year in financial aid for students who visit and enroll.

Dean of Admission Andre Cordon is featured prominently, explaining how Pace is removing barriers and simplifying the process for first-generation and working families. Families interviewed said the experience felt welcoming and more receptive than they expected — citing personalized welcome signage, an easy check-in process, and immediate access to admissions staff.
