Why not earn credits for your degree while exploring the world? At Pace, you can dive deep into courses in your discipline or save your open electives for an amazing international experience by taking Areas of Knowledge (AOKs) abroad. Whether you're studying abroad for a semester or a whole year, Pace requires a full course load.
Believe it or not, a semester abroad can cost the same—or even less—than a semester at Pace! When you study abroad, you’ll pay Pace tuition and fees, plus housing to an overseas institution (which often costs less than housing at Pace!). All your federal and state financial aid applies, and for some programs, up to 100% of your Pace scholarships and grants apply. Plus, there are plenty of additional scholarships available.
Students who study abroad are more attractive to employers. It enhances intercultural awareness, critical thinking, self-confidence, academic performance, language skills, and professional development. You’ll learn to problem-solve, train for international careers, develop a global outlook, and collaborate with diverse backgrounds—skills that are crucial for today’s graduates. Talk about a resume booster!
Most Pace students who study abroad graduate on time or even earlier. Nationally, study abroad participants also have higher graduation rates. Plus, students who go abroad tend to have higher GPAs than those who don’t.
Sure, you might miss a few events back home, but you’ll be gaining a world of new adventures. New interests, experiences, and friends from all over the world await you. You’ll grow in ways you never imagined and gain a clearer sense of self. Many college graduates who didn't study abroad say their biggest regret is not going.

Lubin student Richelle Fatalo '25 isn't afraid to step out of her comfort zone. When the opportunity to study abroad arose, Richelle went after it—despite having never set foot in the country that she would soon call home. Not only did she get to visit new cities and see historic landmarks, but she also gained valuable insight into how marketing is done in other countries.
After jumping into an exciting exchange program in Spain, Kelsey Tulley '25 now encourages other Lubin School of Business students to do the same—not only to see the world, but to generate a new mindset. She credits a study abroad scholarship designed exclusively for Lubin students abroad and the knowledge she gained in her business courses for a successful semester in Europe.

Heera Sojan '24 is climbing the ladder of success as an audit intern at her summer internship with the Office of the New York City Comptroller. She is a graduate student pursuing her MS in Accounting Data Analytics and Technologies.
Her internship has helped her understand different bureaus such as audit, public affairs, budget, etc., and how they serve the public.
The amazing Career Services office helped in tailoring my resume and allowing me to network with potential employers. Also, learning about governmental audit at Lubin and being able to apply it at work is a huge opportunity.
As an international student in the US, I was inquisitive to know how the government audits different agencies. Getting to work for the government sounded like a great opportunity to learn this.

I work Mondays-Thursdays, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., in-person. A typical day includes reporting to my supervisor in the morning, discussing my assignments and working on them, and going to a workshop/speaker series from 2:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m.
The Office of the New York City Comptroller organized a "Meet the Leadership" series, where all the interns meet and pose questions to leaders of different bureaus such as audit, public affairs, budget, etc., to understand how they serve the public. They also talk about the career path they followed.
I am considering working for the government so that I can serve the public.
This experience has helped me gain professional experience, connect with professionals who work in this field, and develop skills that will impact my next semester.
Keep applying to every internship/job you can—you never know what incredible opportunity you may land.

What brought you to the United States, can you tell us about your background?
I am Danish, I was born in Denmark, but grew up internationally, in London and Hong Kong. So, ironically, I am qualified as a Hong Kong and English lawyer, but not a Danish lawyer. Thus far, I have worked my entire legal career as a maritime lawyer in international law firms in East Asia in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore. I studied Mandarin specifically with the intention of working in East Asia as at that time it was obvious that this was the growth area in the world and local language skills would become more and more important. Life always has other plans. My wife is Korean, but she grew up in the United States and that brought us here. We have adorable, but crazy children, who are 11 and 5. We have lived in the United States since January 2022.
What drove you to pursue an LLM at Haub Law?
I did not know a lot about graduate schools when I initially started applying, but as I did my research, a number of factors attracted me to Haub Law. The entire application process was seamless, the campus is very conveniently located for me, and it is the number one ranked law school in environmental law, which gave me the chance to learn about new areas while making myself more marketable.
Once you entered the program, how did you find the LLM experience at Haub Law?
Haub Law is a flexible, easy-going school and I really enjoyed studying there. It was a different experience as an almost 50 year old, whereas many students are younger – the juxtaposition between our thinking was interesting. I absolutely loved my International Environmental Law class with Professor Smita Narula. It was a great experience and she is a masterful teacher. I also enjoyed Constitutional Law immensely; this was a completely new area for me and I found it really intriguing.
Would you encourage others who are thinking about it to pursue an LLM?
Absolutely, just do it. You only live once. Regret the things you've done, not the ones you haven't. I am confident that my LLM will bolster my career and pave the way for me to remain marketable to employers moving forward. To have studied at a top tier institution such as Haub Law that has a premiere reputation in environmental law is invaluable especially with the discernible change in global consciousness on the importance of environmental issues.

What are you currently pursuing career wise?
I am working as a maritime arbitrator. I have a keen interest in deep sea mining in particular, it is a very unique and niche area. I am planning to take the NY Bar Exam as soon as possible, which for me will likely be February 2025, as I have hearings in London in June and July of 2024 which prevent me studying for the July exam. From there, I hope to start pursuing arbitration appointments in the United States. I also signed up to take the Marshall Islands bar exam before COVID struck. I am still waiting to do that and hope to find the time soon.
Dr. Miguel Mosteiro, Associate Professor at Seidenberg, successfully presented two of his experimental research papers at the 2024 NETYS (The International Conference on Networked Systems) conference.
Dr. Miguel Mosteiro, Associate Professor at the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems, successfully presented two of his experimental research papers at the 2024 NETYS (The International Conference on Networked Systems) conference.
This selective and high-level conference aims to bring together researchers and engineers from the theory and practice of distributed and networked systems. The program committee includes many scholars who are ranked top of the field in distributed computing worldwide.
When talking about his presentations at the conference, Dr. Mosteiro said that he was “particularly proud because both papers are coauthored by some of my students, and the topic of both papers is exciting for different reasons, which is reflected in the interest shown by the reviewers. Both works triggered interest and were followed up by great questions that leave room for further development of the projects.”
The first paper, titled "Distributed Station Assignment through Learning", was co-written by Dr. Mosteiro, Lu Dong, and Michelle Wang, both of whom are Pace PhD students. Their work is an experimental study of a scheduling problem called Station Assignment, where mobile users of a wireless network need to upload data to static base stations, while minimizing energy consumption in various aspects. This was done by applying machine learning approaches developed by OpenAI, which are at the forefront of AI research.
"Privacy Preserving Vehicular Adhoc Network Computations: A NYC Taxi Trips Evaluation", the second paper presented at the NETYS conference, is an experimental study of algebraic computations in vehicular networks which was carried out on data extracted from a huge public database of New York City taxi trips. This work was co-authored by Dr. Mosteiro, Austin Powlette (undergraduate Seidenberg student), and Dariusz R. Kowalski (external colleague from Augusta University).
Congratulations to Dr. Mosteiro, as well as his students and collaborators, on this fantastic achievement!

"His rise to stardom (particularly post-NSYNC) ripened from celebrity women like Britney Spears and Janet Jackson and illustrated how gender, misogyny, race and white male privilege operated in the entertainment industry," says Melvin Williams, associate professor of communication and media studies at Pace University.
Someone who reads a false, AI-generated statement, doesn’t confirm it, and widely shares that information does bear responsibility and could be sued under current libel standards, Leslie Garfield Tenzer, a professor at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University, told me.
The takeaway, according to Myo Jung Cho, a professor of accounting at Pace University’s Lubin School of Business and the paper’s other co-author, is that rather than convey a company’s virtue, trust words may instead act as a red flag, highlighting potential pitfalls for investors and regulations.
Together with members of the Westchester County Board of Legislators, Westchester County Executive George Latimer signed the Safety Measures for Survivors of Domestic Violence Act. The Act is part of an ongoing effort to protect victims and survivors of domestic and gender-based violence. In part, the Act will provide free lock changes and the installation of a video doorbell at a domestic violence survivor’s home.
The Pace Women’s Justice Center joined members of the Westchester County Board of Legislators and Westchester County Executive George Latimer for the signing of the Safety Measures for Survivors of Domestic Violence Act. The Act is part of an ongoing effort to protect victims and survivors of domestic and gender-based violence. In part, the Act will provide free lock changes and the installation of a video doorbell at a domestic violence survivor’s home.
During the press conference, which was attended by numerous local organizations and advocates for the Act, Cindy Kanusher, Executive Director of the Pace Women’s Justice Center spoke. “The Pace Women’s Justice Center is so grateful to our County Executive and our County Legislators for their continued support of victims of domestic violence,” said Kanusher. “Through our work providing free legal services to thousands of survivors annually, we know that victims face numerous challenges that prevent them from leaving an abusive relationship. The program established by this law, which will pay for lock changes and the installation of security camera systems, will give survivors the opportunity to remain safely in their homes and rebuild their lives. It will be an invaluable resource for so many in our community.”
Elisabeth Haub School of Law student Laurel Jobe, a rising 3L, played an important role in the research that led to the new legislation, which will, in part, provide free lock changes and the installation of a video doorbell at a domestic violence survivor’s home. Additionally, under the Act, the Westchester County Office for Women will contract with designated community-based organizations, including the Pace Women’s Justice Center (PWJC). PWJC and other organizations will conduct intake with survivors to determine program eligibility, coordinate with licensed vendors regarding the installation of the dwelling safety measures, conduct an education and outreach program, and more.
