Pace University Hosts its Spring 2026 Job and Internship Career Fair

Hundreds of Pace University students packed the Spring 2026 Job and Internship Career Fair on Wednesday —including many from Pace’s campus in Lower Manhattan— eager to connect with more than 100 top employers across a wide range of industries.

Students met face-to-face with recruiters, explored career paths, and expanded their professional networks during one of Career Services’ signature events of the semester.

Employers in attendance included Americare, BDO USA, EY, FUJIFILM, ICON International, KPMG, Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), Northwell Health, New York Boulders, Office of the New York State Comptroller, Ciscoamong many others.

“Career fairs like this give students the chance to move beyond the classroom and engage directly with employers,” said Phyllis Mooney, assistant vice president of Career Services and Employer Relations. “Those conversations can open doors to internships, mentorship, and ultimately full-time careers.”

Career Services continues to deliver outcomes that position Pace as a national leader in career development. In 2025, over 9,000 internships, fieldwork/clinical placements and similar experiences were completed by Pace students. More than 14,000 employers posted 140,000+ jobs and internships for students through the University’s career platform.

In fact, the Class of 2024 achieved a 95% employment or continuing education rate within six months of graduation— including 93% of bachelor’s and 97% of master’s degree graduates—with the majority working in fields related to their studies.

“As a junior who transferred to Pace this spring from West Point, I came to the fair to learn more about the industries and companies here in New York,” said Matthew Adoghe ’27, a Business Economics major and member of the Pace football team, from Atlanta, Ga. “It was a great opportunity to get my name out there and connect with organizations I hadn’t originally considered.”

Pace graduates’ success is also reflected in salary outcomes: the average full-time salary for 2024 bachelor’s graduates was $75,098, and $87,153 for master’s graduates. Over the last five years, employment rates for Pace graduates have remained 10 percentage points higher than the national average, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers First Destination Survey. Additionally, Pace ranks in the top 9 percent of private U.S. colleges for return on tuition investment and in the top 11 percent of U.S. colleges with the highest-earning alumni, according to PayScale.

Pace’s Career Services also offers their employer partners a tailored, successful recruiting experience that introduces recruiters to talented students that represent the very best of Westchester, the New York City region, and the world—resulting in extraordinary outcomes. Top companies that employ Pace students include ABC News, Bank of America, BNY Mellon, Cisco, Citi, Deloitte, EY, IBM, KPMG, Live Nation Entertainment, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Montefiore, Morgan Stanley, NBCUniversal, PwC, UBS and Warner Bros Discovery.

“This is my first career fair, so I’m really excited to see the range of companies here,” said Elizabeth Odisote ’26, a graduate student in Public Accounting, who was among students from Pace’s Lower Manhattan campus who attended the job fair. “It’s helpful to talk directly with recruiters and get a better sense of what they’re looking for.”
