Mission  
School mission: York College of Pennsylvania is a comprehensive college of liberal arts and professions. With 4,600 full-time students, York is a rare breed: an ideally-sized private college. But does size really make a difference? Incoming freshman think so: it's their #1 reason for choosing York. York is small enough to maintain its strong student focus. Classes are small. Students build close relationships with faculty and enjoy one-on-one advising and counseling. You won't find that at a big state school, certainly not at the undergraduate level. Yet, York is large enough to provide much more extensive resources than you find at most small colleges. Our campus facilities are fantastic - come see for yourself. You'll also find York offers a breadth of extra-curricular activities that small colleges rarely provide. We're also a private institution, so we enjoy the independence to seize opportunities whenever they happen. As a result, York College has been transformed, and is transforming still. Over the past three years we have built new state-of-the-art facilities like the Grumbacher Sport and Fitness Center, Humanities Center, Engineering Innovation Center, and Performing Arts Center. A new 360 bed residence and dining facility, major renovations for Biological Sciences, Behavioral Sciences, Education, and Business are currently in the works. Most people agree that first impressions matter. If you are ready, York College offers you a world of opportunities in an environment where you are challenged and supported, and where your accomplishments are recognized and valued. Visit York College and your first impression will be "Wow!"
