Mission: Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems

The Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems prepares students for active participation and leadership in the digital space. Campuses in New York City and Westchester County, both hubs of information technology, combine with unique travel possibilities to provide a range of educational and research opportunities. Relationships with corporate partners allow students to put their education into practice almost immediately, with internships, jobs, and mentorships.

While encouraging lifelong learning among its own students, Seidenberg supports programs in other schools, ensuring all Pace students have an up-to-date, functional understanding of the latest advances. Programs build upon a foundation in the arts and sciences, and emphasize competency in theory and methodology. At the same time, classes are designed and regularly updated to reflect the rapid pace of technological development.

Since its founding in 1983, the school has been at the forefront of the tech field and is characterized by its core values:

• Excellent teaching that is informed by scholarship, professional practice, and community service,

• The integration of theory and practice in teaching and scholarly activity,

• Currency in new technology and its application,

• Creative programs and partnerships with the local and global community,

• Attentiveness to professional and social responsibility.

Seidenberg believes that a technology education should be available and accessible to everyone. All qualified students, regardless of background or experience, are welcomed as valued members of the school, and provided with personalized opportunities to achieve excellence. Throughout its programs and services, the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems recognizes that information technologies are tools for the empowerment of people.
