The MBA program at York College is oriented toward working professionals, and therefore, all courses are offered during evening hours, Monday through Thursday. Courses are taught in small sections, usually by full-time faculty. Many of the faculty have significant business experience and are actively involved in consulting. In addition, since most of the students are employed in professional or managerial positions, they bring a wealth of professional experience to share with their peers. The program maintains national accreditation with the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs since 1998.
