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.
