Geneva College Athletics
Founded
in 1848 in Northwood, Ohio, by the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North
America. In 1880, the College moved to Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, and
built a campus on land donated by the Harmony Society. Nearly 1,500
students study in Geneva’s 35 undergraduate majors and five master’s
degree programs. Degrees are conferred in engineering, applied music,
broadcasting, accounting, English, chemistry, biblical studies, computer
science, youth ministry, and many other professions.
For over 150 years, Geneva has been meeting the need for a well-rounded
education that integrates academics with biblically based values, allowing
students to bring their faith to life. Combining a dynamic campus with
a variety of undergraduate areas of study, plus accelerated degree-completion
and master’s programs, Geneva offers many opportunities for students
to grow intellectually and spiritually. So, whether it’s science,
theatre, business, athletics, education, engineering or any other field,
a Geneva College degree means quality and character.
The teams at Geneva compete in the American Mideast Conference , the
largest conference in Division I NAIA and the National Christian College
Athletic Association (NCCAA).
