Located at Ninth and Kiplinger Avenue, this institution draws students from all over the world for a Christian-centered education. The more-than-125-year-old college is a major part of York’s rich past, present and future.

The four-year programs continue to draw a culturally diverse student body seeking bachelor degrees in areas such as English, business, art, education and the Bible. The average enrollment has lingered around the 500 mark, which continues to grow annually. About 12 percent are international students representing approximately 30 countries ranging from Canada to Zimbabwe.

College officials credit the increasing popularity to religious preference (York College is associated with the Church of Christ), as well as an emphasis on school athletics.
The construction of the new Holthus Field House is a strong enhancement of their sports programs. The large, indoor sporting facility was created through grants and private donations, and was recently opened.

Not only do students have access to this large facility, but it is also available to the general public during certain hours, especially for walking on the overhead track.
Many original buildings remain on campus, and a special and historical church was moved from a rural area north of York to the campus. This church has been restored, and is the site of many special gatherings.

The Mackey Center, which was built several years ago, has become the hub of the campus — not just for students, but for the public as well (as several meeting rooms are used extensively). The center houses a dining area, kitchen, grill, recreational equipment, a bookstore and a post office.

The $2 million project was built in memory of Phyllis Mackey, a longtime York College employee who helped raise money for the school by doing odd jobs for people across the country. It also includes a clock tower with Westminster chimes.

The college recently completed construction of two new housing complexes, on campus. The entire project cost millions of dollars and houses more than 200 students.

The new construction is of modern architecture, while fitting in with the historic buildings on campus.

The project was dedicated in the spring of 2006.
