English as a Second Language Program and Services
Geneseo does not offer an intensive English program on campus, but we do work with ONCAMPUS SUNY (at Morrisville State College) and ELS Language Centers. Students that do not meet the English proficiency requirement at the time of admission may be conditionally admitted to complete the intensive English program at ONCAMPUS SUNY or ELS.
Geneseo offers several ESOL courses (for credit) to help students improve English academic writing. These courses are intended for students that meet the language requirement but would like extra assistance.

Student Activities and Campus Life
Geneseo achieves its educational mission by combining a rigorous curriculum with a rich co-curricular life. The student life experience at Geneseo is intentionally educational, and fosters widespread, substantive student engagement in carefully designed, developmentally based programs and services.

The Geneseo Athletics program is another point of pride on campus. With 20 NCAA Division III teams, many of which are highly ranked, Geneseo stands out among comparably sized colleges.
