York College of Pennsylvania is proud to announce the launch of a new Bachelor of Arts in Leadership for Business and Community, a fully online degree-completion program designed to help working adults finish their bachelor’s degrees while advancing their careers.

The program was created specifically for busy professionals who have some college credit but have not yet completed their degree. Through a flexible online format, students can balance coursework with careers and family responsibilities while gaining practical leadership skills that apply directly to today’s workplaces and communities.

The curriculum blends business fundamentals with community-focused leadership development, preparing graduates to lead teams, manage organizations, and make meaningful contributions within their workplaces and communities. Courses emphasize communication, collaboration, organizational leadership, and ethical decision-making.

“This program is a great opportunity for someone who wants to advance personally and professionally,” said Dr. Molly Sauder, Dean of the Graham School of Business. “I’m really excited to support returning learners with a flexible, meaningful path to a bachelor’s degree. This program was developed from feedback from stakeholders about what exactly was needed for working professionals to accelerate their trajectories, all in a format that works while juggling the many responsibilities of life.”

The program also provides a pathway for adults who previously started college but paused their education.

“Many people start college and then, for one reason or another, life intervenes, and they stop,” said Dr. Joshua Landau, Dean of the School of the Arts, Humanities, Education, and Social Sciences. “This degree provides them with the opportunity to restart their educational path with an eye on increasing their future earning potential through a flexible learning environment geared toward adults with busy lives. Importantly, this type of program allows them to use their prior investment in their education to gain a competitive edge in a challenging job market.”

York College is now accepting applications for the Leadership for Business and Community program.
