The short answer
Pace University information technology graduates earn less than graduates of most information technology programs nationally, $50,885 in their first year. Where this program stands out is debt. The typical graduate leaves with $23,000 in federal loans, less than at 78% of information technology programs in the country. Strong value, but not one of the highest-paying information technology degrees in New York.

About this data
- Earnings and debt only include students who received federal financial aid (grants or loans).
- Earnings only count graduates who were working and not enrolled in more school. Graduates who went straight to further study are not included.
- Debt only includes federal loans. Private loans and credit cards are not counted.
- Some schools with several campuses report one combined figure for all of them. We count each of those schools once, and leave them out of New York comparisons when their main campus is in another state.
- Scorecard figures describe graduating classes from several years ago. BLS wages are from May 2025.
- School-level numbers like tuition, admission rate, and graduation rate are for the whole school, not the information technology program.
