Additional Programs at YC

It was announced in January of this year that bachelor degrees in Family Studies and Social Work received approval by York's Board of Trustees to be offered on the York College campus in August. Two more programs have been given the green light and will also be in the fall's offerings - Criminal Justice and Women's Volleyball.

A Criminal Justice degree will prepare students for entry-level employment or advancement in law enforcement, corrections, probation, immigration, security services, homeland security, forensics and comparable types of employment. The program will provide a broad understanding of the criminal justice system in the United States and a fundamental knowledge of the social and behavioral sciences.

Criminal Justice careers include forensic scientist, law office assistant, social work assistant, probation officer, parole officer, and corrections official.

As part of the college's growth strategy, the Women's Volleyball has been re-instated after being discontinued last season.  YC Athletic Director, Chris Luther, announced that Ms. Charla Farrell (class of ’00) has accepted the position of Head Volleyball Coach and has already begun the recruitment process.
