Welcome from the Dean
Welcome to the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems. We are very proud of the vibrant tech community that thrives on our Pleasantville and NYC campuses and the excellent teaching, learning, research, and innovation that is part of our DNA.
At the Seidenberg School you will have the opportunity to study with faculty who are doing research in the key fields of computer science and information systems including cybersecurity, software engineering, robotics, data analytics, artificial intelligence, mobile app development, digital media, UX/IX, information systems, telecommunications, and full stack web development.
Founded in 1983, we are one of the first dedicated schools of computer science and information systems in the country. The Seidenberg School is so named in honor of Ivan G. Seidenberg, former chairman and CEO of Verizon Communications, Inc. who generously supported the School with the largest gift ever given to Pace University.
Our students study in the greatest business center in the country during the biggest boom for tech jobs in memory. Each student follows their own, personalized Pace Path during their studies, combining top academics with a variety of hands-on, skill-based experiences that lead to the internships that, in turn, lead to great jobs.
As a Seidenberg student, you will be part of a community of students, faculty, alumni, corporate executives, tech entrepreneurs, and government leaders who are shaping the future of technology.
So check us out! Have a look at what we do and, by all means, come and visit. Great things happen here at the Seidenberg School every day and, if you are passionate about technology, you don't want to miss it.
