In order to receive a degree, students must become matriculated; that is, officially accepted into a degree program.
Students who wish to pursue a degree may be asked to take specific courses in order to demonstrate academic ability before being accepted into a degree program. Because many students come to Pace University with previous college credit, a meeting with an adviser is recommended for course selection. Prior credits earned will be applied to degree requirements upon the student’s acceptance into a degree program. In general, the recommended requirements for matriculation are:
Requirements For Matriculation
