Rankings And Awards

In this ranking from Best Value Colleges and Universities, York University is noted as being an "affordable college in Nebraska that puts students first."

The review goes on to say, "A 12:1 student to faculty ratio makes meaningful relationships with faculty members inevitable, and academic success all but guaranteed. Plus, York makes their already competitive tuition even more accessible with a wide range of academic, need-based, and performance scholarships that range from the $1,500 Blue and White Award for above-average students to a substantial “Sibling Scholarship” for families with a legacy of commitment to their alma mater."
