“I received one-on-one tutoring from top-tiered faculty, and more importantly, knew that my professors would be praying for me as I took my exams. After graduating from York College, I was accepted right into a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology PhD program at Colorado State University. I am still being blessed by the knowledge and wisdom I received at York College.”
