Office of the Provost Dear York College Community,
As we approach the close of the academic year, I am pleased to share several accomplishments that reflect the collective dedication, resilience, and excellence of our faculty, staff, and students. These achievements remind us of the impact we continue to make together in advancing student success and innovation at York College.
STEM Innovation in Mathematics and Computer Science The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science has been awarded a CUNY Tech Futures grant to develop a new certificate in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. This initiative will also support the integration of AI and machine learning concepts across the curriculum, ensuring that our students are prepared to lead in rapidly evolving, high-demand fields.
Accreditation Milestone in Nursing Education The Master of Science in Nursing Education program has successfully earned accreditation. This milestone affirms the program’s quality and reflects the commitment of our faculty to preparing future leaders in healthcare education.
Outstanding Certification Exam Success in Health Programs Our students continue to achieve remarkable outcomes. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program achieved a 100% pass rate on certification exams. In addition, the Physician Assistant MS program has once again achieved a 100% pass rate, marking the second consecutive year of this exceptional accomplishment. These results speak to the strength of our programs and the determination of our students.
Advancing Student Success Through Course Alignment The Office of Academic Affairs is working closely with departments to better align course offerings with student needs, helping to reduce course cancellations and support timely progression to degree completion. By leveraging tools such as CourseDog and DegreeWorks, we are gaining deeper insight into student demand and academic pathways, allowing us to make more intentional, student-centered decisions.
As we conclude the academic year, these accomplishments demonstrate not only what we have achieved, but also what is possible when we work together with a shared focus on student success, innovation, and opportunity. I am grateful for your continued commitment to York College’s mission and for the care and dedication you bring to our students each day.
Together, we are building pathways that empower our students to thrive—this year and beyond.
Derrick Brazill, PhD Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs
