Academic Excellence

As part of the SUNY system, Geneseo is one of 64 campuses in the largest public university system in the United States. SUNY Geneseo's outstanding reputation results from the dedication of faculty, quality of programs, broad technical resources, seriousness of its students and the achievements of its graduates.

Scenic Surroundings

Nestled in the rolling hills of Western New York, Geneseo is home to 5,200 students, who are guaranteed 4-year on-campus housing or may choose to live off-campus in the picturesque, historic village of Geneseo. Free student bus shuttles in and around Geneseo also offer 30-minute service to Rochester, NY (population 1 million) with major malls, professional sports, arts and entertainment districts. Students often travel the 90-minutes by car to Niagara Falls, 3 hours to Toronto Canada, or 8 hours to New York City.

Personal Opportunity

Students receive personal attention from Geneseo's noted faculty. Classes are small, averaging 28 students, and are all taught by faculty, not by student assistants. Many exceptional students receive funding to assist professors with research, co-publish academic studies or present findings at national symposia.

Intensive English Language Study At Geneseo

Geneseo offers "English as a Second Language" (ESL) Programs to non-native speakers before and during the first year of study. ESL courses carry academic credits and count toward graduation requirements. An intensive 3-week summer session is offered in August, prior to the Fall Semester, for those students wishing to strengthen their initial academic experience.

Dedicated International Student Services

Personalized service is the hallmark of Geneseo's International Student Services office. ISS office staff are knowledgeable professionals with a combined 75 years experience. The office coordinates admissions, international travel documents and programs to help students adjust, both academically and socially, to life at Geneseo - including a formal International Orientation program.

"Best Value" means High Quality Education at a Modest Price

Geneseo combines academic excellence with modest cost. As part of New York's State University system, international students can expect to pay about $25,803 for 2 full semesters of study at Geneseo. That total includes tuition, fees, room, food, medical insurance and estimates for books.
