Lubin Pace Path
Launch Your Career Before You Graduate
The Lubin Pace Path (LPP) is a dynamic program dedicated to providing our students with a one-of-a-kind professional experience in business education. The program provides a uniquely integrated educational experience in and out of the classroom that incorporates professional work in fields related to our students' academic and career goals. The program is currently mandatory for Lubin students on the Pleasantville campus and optional for Lubin students on the New York City campus.
What LPP Means For You
Lubin Pace Path graduates enter the workplace better prepared and with better prospects for getting a job in the career of their choice than students at other schools. This program is backed by one of the largest internship programs in the New York Metropolitan area, supported by career-relevant experiences and career-focused course work, and is delivered within a four-year time frame with no additional cost or time needed to graduate.
The LPP has had a great impact on my life. I was able to get ahead of the game and successfully navigate many academic and career challenges. By focusing on my resume and knowing what activities would help build my skills and knowledge, I was able to develop myself as an asset to the business world. LPP helped me to know myself better and allowed me to diminish any fear of starting on my career path. I was able to learn the principles and concepts that can help me succeed.

Internship Experience
Students are required to complete at least one internship during their time at Pace. During their internship experiences, students will be paired with a faculty member that will oversee the internship from an academic standpoint. This relationship allows students to grow both academically and professionally during their experience. Students may earn anywhere from 0-6 credits through their internship experiences.
Professional Standards
Standards are promoted and practiced in all Lubin classes to maximize student professional experiences and performance: class readiness, participation and communication, presentation, and professional readiness.
