We believe teaching special needs childer is as much a calling as it is an occupation.
As a student, most of your focus is on exams or organizations you are apart of. However, you need to accurately apply the knowledge you've gained in class to real-world situations.
Education is more than going to your classes and doing the work necessary to get a passing grade—it’s about preparing for life! So, use this time wisely and work hard to take advantage of all the benefits a good education has to offer.
To encourage students to enter STEM education, Geneva is offering the Noyce Grant. The purpose of this grant is to provide students with financial assistance and stability during their pursuit of their STEM degree. The hope is to open students' minds to the possibility of using their STEM degree to teach in the K-12 grades in their future careers.

Geneva College has a wide range of options, from early childhood to secondary education, for your consideration. Is education a good college major? For many students, the answer to this common question is “yes.” There are many distinct perks to majoring in education.
