Small School Feel, Big School Opportunities
Our students connect with experienced, caring faculty, benefitting from one-on-one guidance and research opportunities. Their undergraduate experience culminates with Pace’s unique Experimental Psychology course, a year-long, sequential research and lab experience in which students are mentored by an expert faculty member and work alongside—rather than guided by—graduate and doctoral students engaged in the same work. Many students present their work at national conferences, where they gain experience in sharing research with influential members of the field.
