Elijah A. Levitt School of Business

The Business Department at York College comprises one of the largest academic programs at York College. Currently we enjoy IACBE Educational member status. Whether your post-grad goals are graduate school or entering the professional world, you can rest assured that you will enter your chosen field confident and competent in your skills and ability.

Our faculty members prepare students with successful professional careers as Christian business men and women. They introduce students to the critical thinking, reasoning, interpersonal communication and problem-solving skills needed to succeed in the business world. They challenge students to assume their place as citizens and as leaders in their community so that they can better understand and prepare for ethical questions they may face as Christian business people.  Faith and learning are integrated in each course to prepare students for life--not just their professions. 

Students can also get involved at YC and in the community through Phi Beta Lambda, student business organization.
