Working Out in the New Fitness Center

The Fitness Center offers the latest in exercise equipment and a beautiful view of the campus while you work out – no membership needed, just your Penn State I.D. Brittany Armpriester, a senior majoring in biology and genetics, takes advantage of the free weights.  Other equipment includes eight treadmills, two steppers, rowing machines, and “Synergy,” offering TRX capabilities, battle topes, medicine balls, and kettle bell training opportunities.

Penn State York offers a B.A. or B.S. in psychology that can be completed on campus, or students can do the first two years in York and move on to another Penn State location to complete the degree. Stephen Foster, Ph.D., works with students in one of the newest courses offered on campus, Psychology of Serial and Mass Murders (PSYCH 467).  The newest degrees offered in their entirety at York, Cybersecurity Analytics and Operations and Information Technology, offer students more opportunities to complete their degree locally. Either way, students have an opportunity to engage with award-winning faculty members and perhaps participate in undergraduate research.
