President's Message

York College of Pennsylvania is a community of learners and learning, whose members share the common bond of active participation in academic and campus life. At York, we believe the collegiate experience at its best is a comprehensive process of holistic personal development, which prepares graduates for productive roles in society, while facilitating their growth as individuals and life-long learners.  The hallmark of the York experience is excellence in professional preparation.

York is a venerable educational institution, tracing its heritage back to the early years of the American republic. Throughout its long history, York’s commitment has been to provide high quality, affordable educational programs that prepare leaders for meaningful professional roles in, business, government, healthcare, industry, science, social service, and the arts.

York College has achieved recognition in the Middle Atlantic region and at the national level for excellence in its academic programs and for its commitment to affordability. As a relatively large college (more than 4,600 full-time students), York represents a “golden mean” in higher education, combining the broad academic resources and extra-curricular opportunities of a fine university with the community spirit and personal attention of a small college.

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.
