Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences at Pace University

Pace University's health sciences graduates earn $46,458 in their first year—32% more than the typical New York graduate in this field and significantly above the national median of $35,279. Among the 27 New York schools offering this program, Pace ranks in the 80th percentile for earnings, trailing only Touro's specialized programs and CUNY York. For a relatively accessible institution (77% admission rate), these outcomes stand out.

The debt picture reinforces the value: at $27,000, graduates borrow roughly the national average but earn far more, resulting in a manageable 0.58 debt-to-earnings ratio. That means students can pay off their loans with about seven months of gross income—a reasonable burden for entering a healthcare field. The combination of moderate debt and strong earnings puts this program ahead of most alternatives in New York.

The catch? This data comes from fewer than 30 recent graduates, so individual results could vary more than usual. That said, Pace's location in the New York metro area likely drives these strong outcomes, given the region's robust healthcare sector and higher wages. If your child is weighing health sciences programs in New York and can handle the private school price tag, Pace's track record—even with limited data—suggests graduates are finding good-paying positions right out of school.
