Geneseo establishes cooperative admissions program with Finger Lakes Community College

On Aug. 29, Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC) and SUNY Geneseo signed a cooperative agreement that would allow students to transfer from FLCC more easily to SUNY Geneseo, increasing enrollment and offering students more opportunities in higher education. This program is in effect as of this semester. 

According to the Geneseo website, this new cooperative program applies to education, biology, psychology, accounting, history, and sustainability studies majors. 

“Our partnership programs allow seamless transfer opportunities for students as they pursue their degrees,” said Costas Solomou, Vice President for Enrollment Management at Geneseo. “But they also offer students the opportunity to pursue graduate studies in a variety of fields.”

Geneseo already offers a variety of cooperative programs that make transferring to and from Geneseo for undergraduate and graduate programs easier and with competitive admission. There are several programs in the pre-health track, including for physical therapy, optometry, osteopathic medicine, Doctor of Chiropractic, and early acceptance to dental or osteopathic medicine programs.

Geneseo also offers a Pre-Engineering program and a 4+1 program in business. In addition, SUNY has an accelerated master’s degree in history or cultural studies with a minor in museum studies.

These programs offer the opportunity to transfer to other schools in the state education system such as Alfred State, SUNY Binghamton, SUNY Buffalo, Syracuse, and University of Rochester. However, Geneseo has formal agreements with private universities such as Case Western Reserve University, Columbia University, and Clarkson University.

Future students may find it easier to transfer to and from Geneseo to attain the best education possible from degree programs that interest them and offer the most growth opportunities. In addition, priority admission status can make the application process at Geneseo seamless and easy.

Cooperative programs like this often allow for students to complete multiple degrees in a shorter amount of time, widening opportunities for students and preparing students to continue to graduate school or join the workforce.
