Pace University Courses and Fees 2026
Pace University fees for Indian students depend on the programme, campus, and credit load. United States dollar (USD) and Indian rupee (INR) figures use one supplied exchange rate. Postgraduate (PG) tuition ranges from USD 1,170 (INR 1.12 Lakhs) to USD 1,730 (INR 1.65 Lakhs) per credit. Undergraduate (UG) tuition is USD 55,040 (INR 52.51 Lakhs) annually. The Bachelor of Science in Computer Science uses this standard annual rate.
Pace University publishes New York City living costs of USD 29,370 (INR 28.02 Lakhs) yearly in its cost-of-attendance page. Food and housing is the largest non-tuition category at USD 25,400 (INR 24.23 Lakhs). University housing should be checked before private leasing, because deposits, lease length, availability, and residency rules affect cash flow. Pace does not publish a private-room range in the supplied facts, so neighborhood savings cannot be assumed.
The representative postgraduate route is Computer Science, Master of Science (MS), with 30-credit tuition of USD 51,900 (INR 49.52 Lakhs) under the current 2026/27 rate. Tuition plus 24 months of published living costs totals USD 110,640 (INR 1.06 Crore), before unverified visa charges. The 2027/28 rate is not published, so recalculate before accepting a Fall 2027 offer.
Exchange rate: 1 USD = INR 95.41, using the supplied rate dated 14 August 2026.

Cost of Living in New York City for Indian Students
Pace University budgets USD 29,370 (INR 28.02 Lakhs) annually for New York City living costs. The allowance covers housing, food, books, personal spending, and transport.
New York City Living Expenses: 2026/27
Food and housing account for USD 25,400 (INR 24.23 Lakhs) of the published annual allowance. This category drives the accommodation decision.
| Expense | Monthly (Local) | Monthly (INR) | Annual (INR) | Notes for Indian Students |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food and housing | USD 2,116.67 (INR 2.02 Lakhs) | INR 2.02 Lakhs | INR 24.23 Lakhs | Largest published category |
| Books | USD 83.33 (INR 7,951) | INR 7,951 | INR 95,410 | Budget depends on course materials |
| Personal spending | USD 154.17 (INR 14,709) | INR 14,709 | INR 1.77 Lakhs | Flexible category |
| Transportation | USD 93.33 (INR 8,905) | INR 8,905 | INR 1.07 Lakhs | Commute cost is campus dependent |
| Total living allowance | USD 2,447.50 (INR 2.34 Lakhs) | INR 2.34 Lakhs | INR 28.02 Lakhs | Published Pace total |
Source: Pace University cost-of-attendance page.
- Food and housing takes most of the published living allowance.
- Pace does not publish private-housing ranges in the supplied facts.
- University housing availability, deposits, lease length, and residency rules need direct confirmation.
- Transportation is budgeted at INR 1.07 Lakhs annually.
Private Housing Near New York City for Indian Students
Pace University does not publish a private-room range in the supplied facts. A neighborhood cannot be called cheaper without comparable rent, bills, deposit, lease, and commute evidence.
Note: Food and housing costs USD 25,400 (INR 24.23 Lakhs) annually. Confirm university housing terms before comparing private leases.
That category exceeds the combined published allowance for books, personal spending, and transport. The housing choice therefore changes the largest part of the budget.
Currency Tip: Spring 2027 applicants should hold an INR reserve before the October 1, 2026 graduate deadline. Fall 2027 applicants should rerun the reserve after the next fee schedule publishes. Compare the quoted INR amount before each transfer.
Total Cost of Studying at Pace University
The first academic year needs INR 51.02 to 52.78 Lakhs in verified university costs for the representative PG route. Visa and Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) charges remain excluded.
First Year Budget: Computer Science, MS
The average case uses 15 credits and 12 months of living costs. The lower case uses only the published core living categories.
| Scenario | Tuition | Living | Mandatory fees | Total Year 1 (INR) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lower verified basket | USD 25,950 (INR 24.76 Lakhs) | USD 27,520 (INR 26.26 Lakhs) | N/A | INR 51.02 Lakhs, visa and SEVIS excluded |

Fee Saving Strategies for Indian Students
The largest supplied saving is the automatic UG merit range of USD 5,000 (INR 4.77 Lakhs) to USD 30,000 (INR 28.62 Lakhs). It is assessed through the admission application.
- Submit Spring 2027 graduate applications by October 1, 2026 and UG applications by December 1, 2026.
- For Fall 2027, most graduate international applications close June 1, 2027 and UG Regular Decision closes February 15, 2027.
- Compare the university living allowance of USD 29,370 (INR 28.02 Lakhs) with the actual housing quote before signing.
- Do not include part-time income in the visa funding plan. Confirm F-1 work limits with Pace University before relying on wages.
- Section 80E of the Income Tax Act may affect education-loan interest treatment. Confirm eligibility with a tax professional.
- The Education rate is USD 1,170 (INR 1.12 Lakhs) per credit, versus the Seidenberg rate of USD 1,730 (INR 1.65 Lakhs).
- Do not assume post-study work income until current United States rules are checked.
Tip for Indian Students: The maximum supplied UG merit award saves USD 30,000 (INR 28.62 Lakhs). Submit before the Spring 2027 or Fall 2027 admission deadline to preserve automatic review.
Is Pace University Worth the Cost for Indian Students
Pace University can be worth the cost when the INR 1.06 Crore two-year budget aligns with the career outcome.
Pace University reports 91% of Seidenberg students employed, continuing education, or pursuing service within one year.
The Computer Science, MS page cites a computer scientist salary benchmark of USD 140,910 (INR 1.34 Crore) annually. This is not a Pace graduate median.
The benchmark equals about USD 11,742.50 (INR 11.20 Lakhs) monthly before taxes. An Equated Monthly Instalment (EMI) measures a fixed loan payment. A INR 1.06 Crore loan at 10.5% for 10 years costs about INR 1.35 Lakhs monthly. The EMI would use about 12% of that gross benchmark.
The 91% outcome supports the career case, but it does not guarantee employment or salary. Visa, deposit, tax, housing, and currency risks still affect payback.
Source: Pace University Computer Science, MS page and career outcomes information.
Key Insight: The INR 1.06 Crore current-rate budget is the decision number for Spring 2027. Recalculate Fall 2027 after Pace publishes 2027/28 tuition and confirms deposit and immigration charges.
Pace University Computer Science, MS requires about INR 1.06 Crore for 24-month tuition and living at current 2026/27 rates. Eligible UG applicants can reduce annual tuition by up to INR 28.62 Lakhs through automatic merit review. An INR 1 Crore loan has an EMI of about INR 1.35 Lakhs monthly at the stated benchmark. Confirm the Spring 2027 deposit before October 1, 2026, or recalculate for Fall 2027 after the next fee schedule.

Pace University Reviews
Most Popular Tags
8 Reviews Found
Likes
- The location of the university is great - it's in downtown Manhattan, right beside the Brooklyn Bridge and within walking distance of WTC and Wall Street
- The fees are lower compared to other colleges. For my program, it was around $52K, which was further reduced by the merit scholarship I received.
- The faculty and staff are extremely supportive and approachable. The professors were always available if I needed any and they were very understanding.
Dislikes
- The classes that I took had majority of Indian students, which made it feel like I was still in India. There was not much scope to experience the cultural diversity in the classes.
- The New York Campus being comparatively smaller than the other campus, had limited number of on campus jobs were limited and most of the available positions were usually filled through referrals by students who already worked there. Each school buildings dispersed within a radius 2-3 blocks.
- Had a few mandatory courses for IS, which were very basic and not all were waived off even though I had studied the same during my Bachelors.
Course Curriculum
- The difficulty level of the course curriculum was different for different classes. The introductory courses were relatively easy, while the concentration-specific subjects were more challenging since many of the technologies and concepts were new to me. Overall, the curriculum was a blend of theory and practical, with a stronger emphasis on hands-on learning, assignments, and projects.
- Pace University offers a number of concentrations under the MS in Information Systems program, such as Software Development, Data Science and Analytics, Healthcare Systems, UX, and more. I chose the Data Science and Analytics concentration. One drawback I experienced was that the program included a few mandatory core courses, which reduced the number of electives available for specialization.
- Typically, each class had around 30 students. A major portion of the class, approximately 70–80%, was Indian students, which I consider a downside, as I was looking for a more diverse classroom environment.
- In terms of scheduling, each class was held once a week. Most of my classes were in the evening 5 PM to 8 PM. Only one of my classes (Business Analytics) was a class offered by the Lubin School of Business.
- Overall, the academic experience was well-structured and practical-oriented, though the limited diversity and the number of compulsory courses were some negative aspects, according to me.
Fees
-
As mentioned on I-20, the estimated cost for 1 academic year was:
- Tuition and fees: $25560
- Living Expenses: $23000
- Health Insurance, Books, and personal expenses.: $3730
- Total estimated cost for 1 year: $52290
- The fees were charged semester-wise, and the tuition cost is credit-based. For my program, the fees were $1,420 per credit during the first two semesters, which was later increased to $1,490 per credit. In addition to tuition, there are mandatory university charges such as the International Student Fee, technology fee, university health care centre fee, and some other fees, which together add up to approximately $500–$600 per semester.
- I live off-campus at Journal Square, Jersey City. Over 2 years, my rent was between $500-$600 per month. For food, I cooked at home, so my grocery bill came to around $200-$300/month. For commute by train to NYC costs $2.9/ride, which totals up to around $150. Additional miscellaneous expenses, including phone bills, utilities, eating out, etc., cost around $200/month. So, on average, my monthly expenses came to around $1150.

- Extracurricular activities in which Pace university conducts many activities every week in which every student can join and enjoy for free.
- Academics at Pace University as I already mentioned our university provides numerous career opportunities which can help us to stand out in this current market.
Dislikes
- On-campus Part time opportunities which are very difficult to get.
- Transportation service, as there is no any transportation service in NYC campus for students like other universities provide.
- Tuition fees, as most of the students will get scholarships which is fine but if a person who didn't get any kind of scholarship might witness huge amount of tuition fees.
- I live at off campus and it's easy to get off campus accommodation as there are many groups to find accommodation. Initially we might face challenges to get a right group but once we get a right accommodation group it's easy to find one. I recommend everyone to keep looking all the accommodation groups carefully and find a right accommodation and be carefully while paying the money if they ask as they are many scams going around us.

- The classes uses high technology boards and tv's to to teach u and the way the interact will be unique and also the wifi is pretty damn good.
- You will be getting alot of free food in the campus daily.
Dislikes
- I have taken master's in data science and till now they've been teaching me python only.
- Inspite of having all these high end technology for job hunt they wont actually prepare u for those like they wont be teaching u stuff like apache spark, airflow and snowflake like tools.
- The administrator never responds to u properly and also they take alot of time.
Course Curriculum
- It was very easy all u need to do was learn python as thorough as possible thats it. mostly it would be practical u will be doing alot of projects. My positive aspects would be u will be lots python project and so it will be helpful for ur resume and also for job hunt and if u take a look at the negative aspects i guess u will only be learning either python or SQL. So mostly my classes are 3 days in a week and also it is scheduled from 6 to 9 pm one class is online.
- So part time jobs yea it is purely based on referrals and also it may sound racist but it is also based on the community u belong to like gujrati, marathi and also telugu yea i know it sounds weird but it is. I dont admire anyone.
Fees
- So the tuition fees is $28782 and for living expenses it was $23000 and scholarship was $6000, health insurance was $2650 and in total it would be $54432, this yearly based and in total u have to complete 30 credits for your master's.
- My monthly expenses would be like around $600 and if we break it down then the rent is $430, for travelling $70 and for food it would be $100.

I will say its a mixture of traditional and new syllabus also it depends from professor to professor and the way the course is executed in the class, its my master course so we have research and practical based learning.

Fees
The program fee is $50,000 for 33 credits.
Fees
My program is about 40,000 a year. I have been awarded multiple scholarships from the honors college (amounting $25000) which require me to maintain a 3.3 GPA and remain enrolled in the honors college. I have a federal PLUS loan to pay the rest. I believe international students in the honors college are eligible for honors scholarships.
It's one of the few colleges with an arts management program and it's in an amazing location. I got into several more selective college but Pace offered me admission to the honors college & gave me a lot of scholarships. I applied to eight colleges and was accepted to four. I graduated a year early with a 3.8 GPA. The Pace application was 50 bucks.
