Communicating Our Strengths
Penn State prides itself on producing graduates who excel in the workplace because they have learned the importance of critical thinking and communicating well by honing these skills in college. English faculty work in and collaborate across the campus to support your development as an adept communicator, whether your focus is on social sciences, business, science, or engineering. We also provide professional writing support through the Nittany Success Center, with both online and professional options for feedback, to ensure that every Penn State York student can succeed.
