About
Genesee Community College, located in Batavia New York, was founded in 1966 as part of the multi college State University of New York (SUNY) system. The school was given a permanent home in 1972 and experienced growth in both facilities and enrollment in the following years, including the addition of a theater and technology building in 1991 and 2000 respectively. The school maintains multiple branch campuses located in Albion, Warsaw, Medina, Arcade, Lima and Dansville. The Lima campus replaces one previously located in Lakeville. The school has a wide service area that exceeds the boundaries of Genesee County.
Academics
Students at Genesee Community College are able to pursue an educational track that allows for academic transfer or prepares one for entry into the workforce. Academic transfer programs allow students to complete the first two years of a four year education, mirroring curriculum and requirements for those years. Upon completion, students will apply to four year institutions to transfer their earned credits and continue the remainder of their education, eventually earning their bachelor's degree. Schools in the SUNY system will provide easier transfer opportunities due to intra-system agreements in place that allow for reduced requirements or guaranteed admission if certain academic criteria are met.
Career programs allow students to pursue an education and training in one of multiple areas of study available for students with the purpose of preparation for entry into the workforce after completion. Courses are taught by professionals with industry experience as well as traditional professors with the intention of providing students with a complete education in their chosen area, including practical courses if necessary in order to impart skills and abilities necessary for success in a safe and supervised environment. Programs take between one and two years to complete and result in a degree or certificate upon completion.
Programs offered include:
Admissions and Financial Aid

Students are asked to provide previous transcripts and standardized test scores if available and are encouraged to participate in new student orientation and meet with a counselor prior to registration in order to become familiar with the campus and choose an education track that best suits their goals. Students may be asked to take a placement exam prior to their first semester.
Financial aid is available in the form of loans, grants, work study programs, and scholarships.
