COME TO SEE THE LAKE.
STAY TO DISCOVER YOUR FUTURE.

Seneca Lake is a stunning backdrop to all that happens on our campus. Enjoy the view while immersing yourself in the vibrant community that lives on its shore.   

According to Forbes, “The Geneva area is the best place to situate yourself.” We couldn't agree more.

The Office of Admissions offers tours and information sessions Monday – Saturday as well as special events throughout the year.
