The Department of Business enrolls more students on the York College campus than any other program, has the most full-time faculty, and the largest number of majors offered. We believe that better business education begins with strong ties to the business community. Working with major corporations in the region, such as York International, Harley-Davidson, Glatfelter Paper and Graham Packaging, York College has built relationships essential to achieving our goal of bonding academic substance with real-world experience. Bridging campus and community brings you tremendous advantages and vast resources while you are a student – and also when you begin and advance your career after earning your degree.
The Business Department at York College offers 9 majors and an MBA program that blend academic theory with hands-on application. Our programs are accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools & Programs (ACBSP). Our alumni consistently remark about the practical understanding they gained to complement classroom learning – a distinct advantage when starting and advancing a career in business. The Common Professional Component is the strong foundation on which our accredited business program is built. All business students, regardless of major, take a core group of classes that serve as the backbone of our curriculum. This core ensures that Business graduates receive exposure to economic institutions, the complex relationships that exist between business, government, and consumers, and a basic knowledge of the functional areas of business. Accounting, economics, ethics, finance, information systems, international business, management, marketing, operations, and statistics are at the heart of your program of study just as they integrate and interact in the world of business. The department constantly reviews the curriculum to assure that a proper blend of liberal arts, business core courses, and accounting courses are included to produce a well-prepared professional.
