Why study engineering at Geneseo?

Cooperative engineering allows students to combine studies in liberal arts and sciences with professional preparation in engineering. Students spend three years at Geneseo majoring in either chemistry or physics, then transfer to a partnering engineering school for a final two years of study, earning degrees from both institutions.

Cooperative programs offer a number of advantages. Most engineering schools have large classes and focus primarily on their graduate students. At Geneseo, the largest technical classes have about 70 students, and professors focus solely on undergraduates, both for coursework and for opportunities to participate in faculty-sponsored research—a rarity for undergraduates at larger institutions.

Program Options

Program Highlights

  • Explore a number of liberal arts and science programs while maintaining the option to continue engineering studies. 
  • Take up to three years to decide whether to pursue engineering.
  • Extend some forms of financial aid from four to five years.
  • Graduate with two degrees in five years.
  • Gain a decisive advantage in the employment market over candidates with a single degree.

Example Careers

  • Aerospace engineer
  • Analytical chemist
  • Biotechnologist
  • Chemical engineer
  • Civil engineer
  • Computer engineer
  • Electrical engineer
