Pioneering Spirit with Practical ExperienceSeidenberg School of Computer Science and Information SystemsWhere were you in 1983? At the dawn of the Information Age, Pace University opened the School of Computer Science and Information Systems. In 2005, with a generous gift from Pace alumnus Ivan G. Seidenberg ’81, chairman and CEO of Verizon Communications, Inc., the School was renamed in his honor.

One of the first comprehensive schools of computing in the nation, Seidenberg rapidly earned a reputation for emphasizing both theory and practice. As a result, Seidenberg graduates are always in high demand, recognized for their combination of practical skills and advanced knowledge that is one of the hallmarks of a Pace education.

Course work is challenging, but with flexible scheduling. Many courses are offered online or in blended mode.

Whether online or in the classroom, Seidenberg’s highly respected faculty provide a supportive learning environment for all students. The curriculum is complimented by internships or hands-on projects with New York companies like IBM, Time Warner Cable, Malcom Pirnie, Health Management Systems, and Bloomberg.

The dynamic technology and telecommunications sector continues to create jobs, expand, and innovate. Pace will prepare you to make an impact on this exciting field.

Pace/skillPRooFitinDeXAnalyzing tech-industry job markets for our students and for greater New York. The Pace/SkillPROOF IT Index (PSII) is a composite index that provides a snapshot of the IT job markets in New York (Manhattan) and Westchester Counties in separate reports. The reports are based on 11 standard IT job categories defined by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Weightings of the relative importance of the categories prevent a surge in any one category from having a disproportionate and misleading influence on the Index’s overall picture of the market.

The Index is helpful as a planning tool for job-seekers and for policy makers in corporations, government, and education as an indicator of the needs for certain skills and professional education. It is an essential tool for identifying areas in need of talent as well as those in decline. Because the Index is updated quarterly and made available by on the second Tuesday of each new business quarter, it is one of the most up-to-date resources for analyzing the IT job markets in New York.

The PSII is produced under the auspices of the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems led by Interim Dean Constance A, Knapp. The idea for the Index was conceived by Susan M. Meritt, dean emeritus. It was developed and calculated by Farrokh Hormozi, PhD, professor of economics and public administration in Pace University’s Dyson College of Arts and Sciences, and is based on labor market data provided by Henning Seip of SkillPROOF, Inc. To read the most recent edition, and learn about the underlying methodology and the background of those who compile the Index, visit pace.edu/psii.

From lineman to CEO of a telecommunications giant.

Once a cable splicer’s assistant, Ivan G. Seidenberg ’81, chairman and CEO of Verizon Communications, Inc., worked his way up to transform his company into an unrivaled telecommunications giant. With an MBA in marketing from Pace University, Seidenberg credits much of his success to Pace. In appreciation for the opportunities that his Pace education afforded, Seidenberg made a generous gift of $15 million to help endow the School of Computer Science and Information Systems in 2005. Says Seidenberg, “This nation must create the intellectual capital that is essential to an innovation-centered economy. Innovation simply cannot exist without a constantly replenished talent pool of entrepreneurs, managers, and engaged employees.”

Pace Research: Ahead of the curveRobotics Laboratory

The Robotics lab focuses on building and testing robot control architecture using SOAR, a cognitive modeling system for natural language use as its basis and the DAR Image Understanding Environment for processing visual data. By finding methods for building simply formulated systems that generate intelligent behavior in a complex environment, this research may lead to less complex robotic systems. Supervised by Professor D. Paul Benjamin, PhD, the Robotics lab also builds intelligent agents for network security and intrusion detection.

Information Assurance Education and Research Center

Shortly after Pace was designated a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education in 2004 by the Department of Homeland Security and the National Security Agency, the Seidenberg School established the Information Assurance Education and Research Center, dedicated to exploring computer vulnerabilities with the objective of improving prevention and detection techniques through research by students and faculty. The University’s goal is to become one of the leading academic institutions for research in the field of information security.

Pervasive Computing Lab

Dedicated to the study and application of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques to a wide variety of ubiquitous devices, the Pervasive Computing Laboratory combines current network and wireless technologies with progressively smaller computing devices, voice recognition, and Internet capability to create an environment where connectivity is unobtrusive and always available. In addition, the laboratory provides opportunities for students to explore security, pattern recognition, and artificial intelligence technologies and the use of wearable and handheld devices, as well as practical applications of these technologies in the business world. Professors Charles Tappert, PhD and Sung-Hyuk Cha, PhD are co-directors.

Master of Science in Education (MSEd): Educational Technology Specialist Empower future generations through technological innovation Combining the strengths of two Pace graduate divisions — the Seidenberg School and the School of Education — our 36-credit MS in educational technology will prepare you to lead or support technology initiatives in any P-12 environment. Together with your faculty adviser, you will design a customized program to build upon your current skills and fulfill your professional goals. Course work includes Internet-based forums, research projects, seminars, and a supervised practicum or student-teaching experience, in which you will learn to integrate technology with instruction, and manage technology resources for both teachers and learners, including those with disabilities.

Our students meet the competencies specified by both the International Society of Technology Education (ISTE) and the State of New York. The MSEd also satisfies the educational requirement for New York State Certification as an educational technology specialist (grades K-12).

Prerequisites: Teachers or information technology professionals with a bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited institution may apply. We seek a minimum GPA of 3.0; however, some candidates with a GPA of less than 3.0 may be admitted on a conditional basis. Your transcript will be reviewed to ensure it covers the arts and sciences content knowledge required for certification. Any deficiencies can be met during the course of the program, but will not count toward the MSEd degree.
