Partnerships with Area Colleges
Why consider a Partnership Program?
Partnership Programs may allow you to complete your undergraduate and graduate degree in a shorter period of time, saving you money. They also give you a competitive advantage over other candidates when it’s time to start your career.

Students interested in Partnership Programs will need to be accepted by both Geneseo and by the Partnership Program institution.
