Cost Overview

Most families pay around $31,000 annually at Pace, despite the $51,424 sticker price. Low-income students ($0-30K) pay about $26,575, while wealthy families ($110K+) pay $36,098. Over four years, expect total costs between $106,000 and $144,000 depending on family income.

The 61% graduation rate means many students accumulate debt without finishing. Graduates carry a median debt of $23,250, translating to $246 monthly payments. That's manageable against the $70,378 median salary ten years out, but tighter for new graduates earning $55,677. Only 27% of students receive institutional grants, though those who do get substantial aid averaging $32,981.

Students from middle-class families get squeezed hardest here. Low-income students benefit from significant need-based aid, while wealthy families can afford full price. The sweet spot falls to those who land Pace's generous institutional grants or can leverage the strong business connections into high-paying finance careers.
