Beyond the classroom, York College features an extracurricular and residential life program that reinforces and extends its academic character. Structured opportunities for athletic participation in both intercollegiate and intramural sports abound. First-class facilities and events for cultural enrichment are accessible to all students. Factually-based, professional guidance on drug and alcohol issues, imbedded in the residential life and wellness programs, addresses students' needs to avoid behavioral pitfalls. Strict standards of personal responsibility and ethical conduct, taught through example and the sanctioning of those whose behavior fails to meet clearly articulated expectations, aid character development. The College community exhibits a firm commitment to the wise and efficient use of resources, including energy conservation and the adaptive reuse of materials and buildings. A strong sense of campus unity rests on commitment to fairness and inclusiveness for all members of the collegiate community, regardless of race, religion or other ascriptive attributes, and is premised on a shared allegiance by all to the College's mission and goals.
York College stands out from other fine colleges by providing its excellent and distinctive collegiate experience at a price level well below the charges of peer institutions. York creates outstanding educational value through careful management and operating efficiency. The College's remarkable combination of excellence and value positions it clearly to merit the philanthropic support of alumni, friends, foundations, and corporations that seek efficient and effective means to foster societal progress.
I hope your experience at York College is a fulfilling one. We of the faculty and staff are ready to help you attain your academic goals and plan for a successful future.
