Major: Computer Science (This Major's Salary over time)
I understand the criticisms of my colleagues, but I must say that given the circumstances this university is solid. I came here not knowing what a debit or a credit was, and now I can give you a current economic status report on GDP growth and Total Factor Productivity contributions of IT in reduced savings leading towards increased capital expenditures. Honestly, I tried CUNY Baruch—an administrative nightmare; and researched the other schools here. Just face it—any school in or near New York City is better than some school in a remote area of the country, including St. John's, Hofstra, Fordham, and so on.Pace is administratively friendly (they should be for the cost!), but - on a sour note, needs to offer more electives.I agree the MS in Information Systems (this is applicable to CS majors also) needs tailoring. Certain classes could be combined, plus there needs to be more focus on PMI certification / project management skills.You can get an MBA with a concentration in IS, and—with the appropriate business / working experience, can exempt the basic requirements for the IS concentration in order to take more advanced courses. They [Pace] will work with you.Jim Curry and Dr. Molluzo are extremely nice and helpful.
