SUNY Geneseo’s partnership programs offer real advantages for students interested in pre-health, engineering, business, or history.

“Partnerships with area colleges allow students to complete their undergraduate and graduate degrees in shorter periods of time, which saves them money,” says Costas Solomou, vice president for enrollment management. The programs also give students a competitive advantage over other candidates when starting their careers.

Geneseo currently offers the following in partnership with other schools:
