Physics is the study of how the universe works, from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest galaxy clusters. Physics majors at Geneseo develop advanced problem-solving skills and get hands-on experience with state-of-the-art lab equipment that is useful for a wide variety of technical careers.
The neuroscience major is an interdisciplinary program designed to prepare students for advanced studies in brain and cognitive sciences in a graduate school, medical school, or related health program, or for a career in the biomedical industry.
Chemists use atoms and molecules—the stuff that makes up all matter in the universe—and learn the science and art of transforming them to help solve critical 21st-century challenges.
The biology major provides students with the broad background necessary for various careers in the biological sciences and medicine. Students gain an understanding of the basic principles of genetics, ecology, evolution, cell biology, and anatomy and physiology.
Known as a “bridging” discipline that focuses on human-environment interaction, geography unites the natural and social sciences. Geneseo offers both natural science and social science courses, integrating them in areas such as sustainability, climate change, conservation, resource management, urban and regional planning, biogeography, and geographic information systems (GIS).
