[Campus reveiw]

York College of Pennsylvania plans to purchase Penn State York's 53-acre campus for $7.4 million. The proposal also includes a partnership with WellSpan Health to support healthcare education and campus improvements.

The campus has 15 buildings and facilities that serve educational and community purposes. The proposed plan aims to maintain its role as an educational hub while expanding opportunities in nursing and other health professions.



Penn State's Finance and Investment Committee supported the proposed sale on November 12, 2026. The full Board of Trustees was scheduled to consider final approval on November 13.
