Why is York College relatively inexpensive in comparison to other private colleges?
York College enjoys national recognition as one of the best managed financially sound educational institutions in the nation. The College and its Board of Trustees are philosophically committed to the idea of cost containment. For this reason, York carries no debt on its facilities and manages a well-invested endowment fund. Focusing on the overwhelming importance of classroom instruction, York faculty members traditionally teach a full course load of 12 credits per semester. These factors plus generous financial support from the community have led to York’s sound reputation as a “best buy.” In addition, York College has recently been dubbed a “hidden gem” in a recent Washington Post article.
