Top StoriesCelebrating 160 years of Christ-centered education
To commemorate 160 years of God’s faithfulness to the Geneva community, on April 19 a flame will travel 220 miles from the college’s birthplace in Northwood, Ohio to its current home in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Once the flame reaches the Penn/Ohio border, a relay of students, alumni, parents, faculty, friends and community members will pass the torch along the final leg of its symbolic journey. The entire campus and local community is invited to gather in Old Main Circle as the torch arrives and students light individual candles with the flame that started in Northwood. “God has blessed Geneva for 160 years as we have embraced and lived out the mission to provide Christ-centered education, first in Northwood and now in Beaver Falls,” said Geneva President Kenneth A. Smith. “We want to acknowledge and celebrate those blessings – and passing this flame with 160 people who care about the institution is a special way to do that. This should be a celebration for everyone to remember.” The passing of the flame will cap off a variety of festivities on Geneva’s campus during Alumni Weekend April 18 and 19. In addition to commemorating its 160th anniversary, Geneva will honor the Chemistry department as it celebrates 50 years of American Chemical Society approval. Other events include special class reunions, lectures, presentations and the annual alumni dinner. For find out more about Alumni Weekend, click here. Master's in Counseling degree programs receive accreditation
This accreditation, given only when program content and quality meets rigorous professional standards, sets Geneva’s three graduate counseling programs apart from those of other institutions. “Many of our students have sought us out because we're a Christian school,” said program director Dr. Carol Luce. “And not many evangelical Christian colleges have achieved this recognition.” While students from non-accredited programs must complete at least two additional years of supervised experience before receiving national counselor certification, those graduating from CACREP accredited programs are eligible for immediate certification. “We're very pleased about this,” Luce said. “The accreditation will open up increased opportunities for our graduates and will help them as they seek jobs and licensure in Pennsylvania and other states.” Integrating academic training with an understanding of the Christian faith, Geneva’s Master of Arts in Counseling degree programs prepare students to provide professional counseling in a variety of religious and secular settings. Students enrolled in any of the three counseling programs can earn their degree in two years, and school counseling graduates receive counseling certification on both the elementary and secondary levels.

An idea sparked to life in Northwood, Ohio when Geneva Hall first opened its doors on April 20, 1848. Now, 160 years later, that spark has become a strong flame, shedding light to countless lives educated in the Christian tradition of the Reformed Presbyterian faith.
Three of Geneva’s master’s degree programs – Marriage and Family Counseling, Mental Health Counseling, and School Counseling – have recently been accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP).
