REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingThe professors are all so nice and caring. They are very easy to get to know personally, thanks to small class size.
Current Student
I attended high school at a small private school where we did not have access to things such as computer labs, science labs, and individual academic advisers. At Geneva, I am pursuing an Engineering degree and have been able to learn hands on in the labs. Something else that has aided my in my learning experience is that the professors care about their students and are willing to help students inside the classroom and during non class times as well.

Geneva College will academically challenge you. It also gives you many opportunities to find yourself and who you are in God. It's not always easy but there are many people here who are on your side.
