Pace University began the way few great New York institutions do: with a $600 loan and a single rented classroom.

In 1906, brothers Homer and Charles Pace opened a bookkeeping school in the old New York Tribune Building, teaching a first class of 13 how to pass the CPA exam. For decades, that was the whole identity— a no-nonsense accounting school for working New Yorkers with big ambitions and little time. It earned college status in 1947, bought its first Park Row skyscraper in 1951, and became Pace University in 1973.

Then came the twist. In 2006, the Actors Studio Drama School— the graduate program sanctioned by the legendary Actors Studio, and the home of “Inside the Actors Studio”— relocated to Pace. Almost overnight, the accounting school had a claim on serious acting. Today its Sands College of Performing Arts ranks among The Hollywood Reporter’s 25 best drama schools in the world, Playbill counts it among the ten most-represented colleges on Broadway, and Harvard names Pace the No. 1 private college in the country for economic mobility.

From a borrowed classroom on Newspaper Row to the wings of Broadway— not bad for a school built to teach bookkeeping.

Swipe through the whole story, 1906 to now.

The most interesting careers rarely start where you’d expect— but they almost always start with the right people. That’s what we’re building at Clubs. Link in bio.
