The curriculum for each of these  majors is designed to blend liberal arts and professional education.  In addition, the design of the professional curriculum is based on  prerequisite education in the basic sciences and a conceptual core of  knowledge in the health sciences.

Admission to Health Professions Programs

Admission to each program takes place at the freshman, upper sophomore or lower junior level. Acceptance is based on matriculation at York College, completion of a minimum number of credits, specific prerequisite coursework and attainment of a minimum grade point average, and approval of the discipline Admissions Committee (see each discipline for details). Applicants are not considered “accepted” until they receive a letter from the respective department stating acceptance in a particular program.

Clinical Internships

Each of the programs of study at York includes a prescribed sequence of courses at the college and may include a prescribed period of clinical fieldwork. In some instances the cooperating agency may require the payment of fees. Such fees are the responsibility of the student, although the college will provide the assistance of its Financial Aid Office if it is desired. Refer to specific discipline for further information.
