Handbook: Academics
Engineers are designing robots. Nurses are working in simulation labs to diagnose patients. Theatre students are directing plays. Sport Management students are running the fitness center. At York, your academic path won’t be littered with mindless hours staring at a computer screen and a textbook. We want you doing.
And that means the best way to thrive here is giving your full effort. We have many resources to support you along the way, but from your first semester, you’ll notice that there’s more responsibility on the student than you might have been used to in high school. By the end, you’ll graduate with deep knowledge of your chosen profession, an understanding of how your career connects with the world around you, and a work ethic that will make you viable in the job market.
Let’s review what we have at York to get you there.
