At Yorktown University we pursue a love of wisdom by which we discover our humanity in relation to divine reality.  That is what it means to be a participant in Western civilization.

Western civilization is coterminous with the Judaeo-Christian tradition, and includes a commonly shared morality based in God’s commandments and experience of His intervention in history.

The majestic history of Western civilization, its origins in the inquiries of the ancient Greek philosophers, the arts and sciences by which it is now defined, and the experience of transcendent divine reality that has shaped the consciousness of Western man, are what we discover through our studies at Yorktown University.
