E. A. Levitt Business Division

The Business Division consists of the School of Business (including the departments of accounting, business administration, economics, finance, and management). In 1979, York College’s business school was named the E. A. Levitt School of Business in honor of a longtime friend of York College. Elijah A. Levitt, LL.D., was a prominent local businessman who generously contributed to the growth of the community of York and the College.

The School of Business offers Bachelor of Business Administration degrees with major concentrations in the areas of accounting, business administration, human resource management, finance, and business management. The School of Business also offers minor courses of study in accounting, business administration, management, and micro-computer applications. The Business Division cooperates with the Education Division to offer a B.A. with a Business Education 7-12 basic business subject endorsement, and with the Humanities Division to offer a B.A. with a major in Business Communication. In addition, courses are offered in Microsoft Office, personal finance, and other areas of interest to students who are not majoring or minoring within the division.

The programs offered by the E. A. Levitt School of Business help to prepare students for careers which include work in the following fields: accounting, auditing, management, entrepreneurship, marketing, finance, banking, insurance, securities, real estate, sales management, advertising, retail, economics, government, education, health and human services, office management, and advanced studies in graduate and professional (including law) schools.
