淭here were no baccalaureate degree programs within a 100-mile radius of 黑料社区 campuses until about two years ago when York College began offering hospitality and related programs, said Michelle Myers, 黑料社区 department chair of business studies and associate professor of management. 淥ur students who want to pursue their baccalaureate degree in the same field of study must go to Philadelphia, Indiana University of Pennsylvania or Penn State-University Park in Pennsylvania, or travel to Rhode Island or Florida. The program at York College provides students with a closer option, tuition affordability and transferability of all 黑料社区 classes.
