The University Core Curriculum is required for all Pace undergraduate students. It is designed to promote active learning, student success, and faculty-student interaction. The University Core Curriculum for Lubin business majors requires 39-50 credits in the liberal arts and sciences.
The University Core requirements are grouped into two Core areas: Natural & Social Sciences and Arts & Humanities. Each Lubin major has unique requirements for their core courses. For a complete listing of the University Core requirements, please see the University Core Curriculum Section of this Catalog or visit the University Core web site by clicking here. Indicated below are specific courses that Lubin majors are required to take to fulfill Core areas as well as other important information on the University Core requirements.
Lubin majors are required to fulfill all the University Core Requirements in English, public speaking, laboratory science and second language proficiency as outlined in the University Core website. In addition, Lubin majors are required to take MAT 104 Finite Mathematics to fulfill the Core requirement in Mathematics and CIS 101 Introduction to Computing or TS 105 Computers for Human Empowerment to fulfill the Core requirement in Computing. (TS 105 Computers for Human Empowerment also satisfies the Civic Engagement requirement.)
Lubin Natural & Social Science requirements differ by major. Please see major requirements for more information. All Lubin students may choose 3 courses in Arts & Humanities to fulfill the University Core.
Lubin majors who enter Pace with fewer than 25 transfer credits are required to complete all the University Core requirements including:
For more information, students should consult their major worksheet as well as the section on the University Core in the catalog and the Core website, accessible from www.pace.edu in the A-Z index under "C."
Transfer students must complete a minimum of 39 credits in the Liberal Arts and Sciences. They are required to complete the University Core Requirements, one course in Civic Engagement and Public Values, and the major Natural & Social Science and Arts & Humanities Core Requirement. The remaining credits may be taken as liberal arts and sciences electives. Transfer students in the professional schools, with the exception of the School of Education, may take one culture course offered by the modern languages and cultures department to fulfill the second language requirement.
For purposes of determining the appropriate University Core Curriculum requirements for students who come to Pace with transfer credits, a transfer student is defined as one who successfully completes (grade of "C" or better) a minimum of 25 college-level credits prior to his or her attendance at Pace University. Thus, students with fewer than 25 transfer credits will be required to take the entire University Core except if they are enrolled in an adult degree bachelor's program.
