WHITE PLAINS, NY (December 2019) – Pace University’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law (Haub Law) provides excellent value for its students based on data from the U.S. Department of Education regarding graduates debt-to-earnings ratio. Pace came in number seven of 15 schools in New York State accredited by the American Bar Association, according to the New York Law Journal, which looked at how the Empire State’s schools faired.
