Work with professors who are top professionals
in the field.
At Pace, you will not simply learn research, you will do research. Sharing their time and
knowledge, faculty mentors will work closely with you as you develop your own research
ideas and projects in an atmosphere that stresses collaboration rather than competition.
You will have the opportunity to be mentored by faculty with recognized expertise and
published research in a host of different areas, such as bereavement, counselor training,
lifespan development, multicultural awareness, resilience, self-determination, subjective well-
being, and trauma.
Whether it's assisting on research projects with other institutions, supervising mental health
counselor trainees, or teaching a course, your experiences in the program will be rich and
varied. Moreover, monthly symposiums will allow you to expand your network as you meet
clinicians and researchers from other renowned facilities and universities. In essence, the
faculty at Pace consider you not just a student, but also a colleague.
