"After working as a news writer and producer in New York for many years and meeting so many different types of people, I wanted to focus more on helping individuals. I looked at several other schools, but found that Pace's program is so much more personal than the others-there was no comparison. The combination of the program and the people who ran it made the choice clear." -Amy Levin, MS Counseling '10 CASAC, Addiction Counselor Phelps Memorial Hospital6 Dyson College of Arts and SciencesGraduate Programs
