- Allegheny is a unique place where students embrace the College's total educational experience. Our
students have the uncanny ability to create unusual combinations of interests and talents. These "wonderfully weird"
combinations enhance our students' success here and ensure excellence in their future careers.
- Allegheny offers over 900 combinations of majors and minors. Students declare a major and select a
major advisor by the end of the sophomore year. In line with the goals of a liberal arts educational experience, all
Allegheny students also declare and complete a minor outside the division of their major.
- Whether it's fieldwork in Alaska or a community art project, Allegheny students put theory into
practice under the guidance of faculty mentors through research, conference presentations, co-authored articles, and
faculty-led study tours. In the National Survey of Student Engagement, responses by college seniors placed Allegheny within
the top 10% in the U.S. for the close student-faculty interaction.
- Allegheny College is a 540-acre campus located in the city of Meadville, a community that offers the
history and natural beauty of northwestern Pennsylvania. Founded in 1788, the downtown district of Meadville is on the
National Register of Historic Places. Within walking distance to downtown Meadville, Allegheny boasts one of the country's
most attractive campuses, set in a region that offers a range of activities and outdoor opportunities.
- Visitors to Allegheny College's northwestern Pennsylvania campus are impressed with its beautiful,
historic setting, but its academic programs are where the College shines brightest. Allegheny has a long history of producing
scientists, artists, educators, and entrepreneurs of the highest caliber, proving that the truly successful liberal arts and
sciences education prepares students for their careers. Small classes and an array of experiential learning opportunities
ensure that students and faculty work as colleagues on research and community-development educational projects, and in some
cases, the "communities" are as far away as China's Hebei Province! Allegheny promotes civic education and hones the
leadership qualities students need to become engaged citizens and leaders in their professions and communities.
