your choices in life. No matter what career or profession

you pursue after college, you will have the knowledge,

skills and values to prepare you for a life of purpose

and signifi cance.

Your work at Geneva will not be confi ned to the class-

room, though. The world is full of opportunities to learn

as you use your talents to serve God and others. You will

be challenged and you will work hard—but you will have

fun, too, and the relationships you build will last for years

to come.

As you explore what Geneva academics have to offer,

keep in mind that you don’t have to decide on a major

until your sophomore year. Professors, advisors and many

others will help you understand where your heart and

passions lie, and will hone your talents to prepare you to

take your place in God’s world.

John Calvin compared faith to a pair of spectacles,

the lenses through which we view all of life. C.S. Lewis

believed “in Christianity as I believe that the sun has

risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I

see everything else.”

Let faith inform your view of learning and the world.

In the following pages, you’ll get a glimpse at the variety

of academic opportunities Geneva has to offer. Are you

interested in business or Bible? Physics or psychology?

Education or English? Music or ministry? Once you start

looking at the possibilities, you’ve already taken a step

toward discovering where God may be calling you.

At Geneva, the world of knowledge is your classroom.

Professors will push you to dig deeply, probe beneath the

surface, satisfy your curiosity and search for not only

the “what” but for the “why” and “how.”

As professors bring faith and intellect together throughout

every course of study, you will learn how to integrate

knowledge with your Christian faith and use this to guide

Making the transitionAs you step onto Geneva’s campus for the fi rst time, you

begin a journey. Regardless of whether you’re traveling

here from the other side of the world or from across the

street, you will be leaving your comfort zone and opening

yourself up to a world of new ideas, opportunities, friends

and experiences. No matter which course of study you

choose to follow, you will grow, change and discover

God’s purpose for your life.

Learning & TransitionIf you come to Geneva as a freshman, you will be

required to take a course called Learning & Transition to

help you adjust to college life. During orientation week,

new students are divided into focus groups led by a faculty

advisor and two student mentors. Focus groups meet once

a week during the semester and discuss topics such as

learning styles, time management, community service

and vocational development.

Undeclared majorsIf you aren’t sure what you want to study or what your

future career path should be, don’t worry. You don’t have

to decide today. Many students enter Geneva with undeclared

majors, ready to learn more about their gifts and interests,

and explore the variety of opportunities Geneva has to

offer. Professors, advisors and other faculty members are

ready and willing to help you fi nd the answers you are

looking for.

Core curriculum Why should an accounting student have to study art,

or an English major take a science class? Just like a house

that needs strong structural support, each major at Geneva

is built around the solid framework of the core curriculum.

All the components of the core relate to each other, and

work together to develop the knowledge, skills and perspectives

on which students can build the rest of their education.

As you deepen your understanding of culture,

the world and your calling through your study of the core subjects,

you will also develop:

all within the framework of Christian faith,” he says. “It’s

this kind of exploration that drives us as human beings.”

Dr. David Kuhns, Honors Program Director

“The honors program is a service to the whole community.As students develop a love for learning and

the work of the mind, they will want to share that with others.”

Honors programWhat is your gift and how does God want you to use it?

Geneva’s honors program will help you answer these

questions and discover how you can use your talents to

serve God and the people around you. Through a learning

experience involving far more than academics, you will

build relationships with professors and fellow students and

bring concepts from the classroom into everyday life.

Freshman Honors ProgramFreshmen explore the theme of freedom through a variety of

academic, cultural and group experiences. These include a

one-credit book discussion during both the fall and spring

semesters; an honors section of humanities (103); monthly,

faculty-led forums on contemporary issues; and an honors

excursion to Washington D.C. Freshmen are strongly

encouraged to build an intentional honors community

by living in close proximity to each other on campus.

Sophomore Honors ProgramDelving into the concept of calling, sophomores engage

in one book discussion; take the honors sections of the

fi nal humanities courses (203, 303); and attend the annual

Jubilee conference, a unique, three-day event on culture,

leadership and community responsibility.

Traditional Honors Program (Juniors & Seniors)Honors students work with a professor to develop an honors

component to one course during their junior year. As seniors,

each student completes a three-credit senior honors

research project.

Young ScholarsJuniors who have a special interest in pursuing an academic

calling may choose to enter this program instead of the

traditional honors option. Made up of eight to 10 juniors,

Young Scholars places special emphasis on the integration

of faith, learning and scholarship.

Faculty perspectives

It’s the responsibility of Geneva faculty members to take skills from their fi elds, equip students with those skills

and serve as Christian role models. But Todd Allen takes that responsibility even further. “You’re not a number

in a seat. We want to be there for you in any way we can, and many times that means beyond the classroom.”

Faculty curriculum vitae can be viewed under “faculty and staff” at www.geneva.edu.

but that teaching and learning goes both ways.”“We think we teach these young people so much,

Assistant Professor of Communication; Todd Allen

Director of Forensics

“It’s all about your commitment level. If God

is sovereign over everything and foundational

in everything, we can do nothing but strive to

be excellent.”

Gayle Copeland, Ph.D.

Associate Professor of Education;

Chair, Department of Education

Dr. Copeland believes it is their commitment

to learning, to Christ and to their students

that makes the education faculty at Geneva

so unique. “Throughout each course, from beginning

to end, they clearly articulate what it means to

integrate faith, learning and life,” she says. “And

because professors care about their students, they

seek to educate them in the educational and spiritual

battles they can expect to encounter.”

“We teach students about

business, and we see them

excel, but it’s our prayer that

they would personally excel

and succeed in strength

of character.”

Joseph Bucci

Assistant Professor of Business

As Joseph Bucci’s students learn management,

leadership and organizational skills, they

also learn the importance of evangelism in

their business goals and interactions. “It’s not

enough just to enter the business world with

a moral perspective,” he says. “We have to

earn the right to be heard by communicating

our beliefs through the language of

the culture.”

“When students can tell themselves,

‘I am a human services worker, but

I am a Christian fi rst,’ that is of

eternal signifi cance.”

Stephanie Schindel

Associate Professor of Psychology

and Human Services

Stephanie Schindel’s students don’t

just learn models and theories, but

use them to make a difference and

a contribution to the community.

“They are taking what they’ve learned and

coming alongside local agencies that need

assistance,” Schindel says. As students fi ll in

the gaps for these organizations, they gain

valuable hands-on experience, and most

importantly, bring their faith to the fi eld.

“The study of biology raises a lot of questions that,

without an understanding of absolute truth, can

only result in more questions. We give students

principles they can apply in professional and daily

life to fi nd real answers.”

Daryl Sas, Ph.D.

Professor of Biology;

Chair, Department of Biology

Dr. Sas keeps his students up to date

on the latest research and discoveries going

on in the world of biology, but he also gives

them biblically based truths to bring depth and

understanding to their studies. In classes like

Bio-Medical Ethics, a course unique to Geneva,

he prepares students for the professional and

moral challenges they will face in their various fi elds.

27

Shaping the future “You can only make a change and impact the people

around you when you become a servant as your leading,”

says Eileen Dietrich, and as assistant principal of math

and science at the New York City Public Schools’ Automotive

High School, she puts that principle into practice every day.

With its vocational emphasis on the automotive and

business fi elds, the school empowers students to enter the

workforce at a competent and highly competitive level.

Nearly 96 percent of the school’s 1,200 students are

male, and most are eligible for free or discounted

lunches and come from low-income families.

“Every day is different,” Dietrich says. “And it’s challenging.

But when you’re affecting kids and getting them off the

streets, it serves a great purpose.”

In addition to overseeing students, Dietrich works with

teachers in and out of the classroom, helping them pin-

point problem areas, implement new technology, and

fi nd ways to improve their teaching methods.

“Geneva taught me the importance of really solid

relationships and helped me understand and apply

the concept of

servant-leadership,”

she says. “Now, in

my daily life, I know

that if I’m not willing

to do the nitty gritty

with my staff, there’s

no way they’re going

to follow me.”

Alumni stories

Big dreams start smallAs a physics major

peering through the

campus telescope at

Geneva College, John

Hill was fascinated with

astronomy. He didn’t

know then that this

fascination would one

day lead him to explore

the depths of the universe

through the lens of the

most powerful telescope

ever built.

As technical director of the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT)

in Tuscon, Arizona, Dr. Hill has a window into the deepest

parts of the universe. With 10 times the resolution of the

Hubble Space Telescope, the LBT provides never-before-

seen images of planets outside the solar system. But even

the world’s most advanced ground-based telescope can’t

compete with the reach of Dr. Hill’s vision.

During his years at Geneva, Dr. Hill became keenly

aware that scientifi c fact and biblical truth are compatible.

“I found that you could be a real scientist and a real

Christian at the same time,” he said. He realized that

every part of creation, from here to the farthest star, can

only be understood in the light of God’s truth -- truth that

illuminates the universe.
