General Education

Philosophy of General Education

In a world of increasing specialization, students have a need for a broad foundation of learning. York College is dedicated to preparing students for a life of service to God, family, and society. This foundation is provided through the arts, biblical studies, humanities, and sciences for all academic programs of York College.  

The General Education Program (GEP) gives the student a broad understanding that facilitates learning in all areas of life. Our core values - transform, educate, equip, and serve - are the philosophical framework for the GEP learning outcomes. The aggregate of courses within the York College GEP address five overarching emphases of liberal arts education: 1) critical thinking; 2) ethical inquiry; 3) effective communication; 4) social responsibility; 5) spiritual formation. The York College General Education Program allows graduates to be equipped for a successful career in their chosen field, as well as service to God, family, and society.
