Visiting our campus is a great way to get to know Geneva College better. We offer two types of visits that provide a very personal look into life at Geneva.
Schedule A Visit
A biological science degree will take you on a journey to study the living world that’s all around and within us. Biology is one of the broadest majors you can choose because it encompasses many scientific disciplines, from the study of the very smallest molecules that make up life to the study of plants and animals.
In 2010, Geneva College was selected to participate in the Interpret a Genome in Education sponsored by the JGI. A major goal of this program was to “annotate” the genomes of newly sequenced genomes type species from a genus not well studied.
Geneva College hosts the STEM Symposium for Undergraduate Research from 6:30-8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 6, 2022, in Old Main. Chemistry Professor John Stahl, PhD, will speak on “Lessons Learned in Research: Observations from Conducting Chemistry Research for over 40 Years,” followed by a student poster session.
