Progressed to a master's degree in Computing at Pace University

My pathway program at Pace prepared me academically for my university studies. I am able to connect with my professors, and understand their different teaching methods. It has also helped me meet other students, who have since become my good friends. It truly provides a home away from home.

Progressed to a master's degree in Accounting at Pace University

Attending a pathway program at Pace University helped me to learn about American culture, and to adapt more readily to the academic environment here. I now have a much better understanding of American-style learning, including the importance of group work and presentation skills.
