I enjoy the lively atmosphere, events, programs, education, food, American values and most of all, the wonderful opportunities that molded me.

Global Pathways has played a crucial part in making me understand different cultures through its events and activities. It also served as a bridge to explore my passion and gain new knowledge. The program held a number of memorable events such as "Peer matchups", tours to museums, historical places, and theater shows.

The thing I really enjoy about Pace is the diversity. Indeed, I am an international student, and through the Global Pathway program, I met and learned about different cultures.

Testimonials

Nikita Ptchelka

From: Belarus
Studied: Financial Management, MBA

"Â鶹´«Ã½ professors are really great at connecting what weÂ鶹´«Ã½™re leaning in class to real life. In Managerial Marketing, we created marketing plans for 3 real New York City firms. It was a great experience to meet the directors of these companies and to present our thoughts on how they could improve their marketing strategies. And my microeconomics professor is just amazing at applying the theories we learn in class to real world problems. Now when I read the news, I understand what is happening on a much deeper level."
