Allegheny College

Allegheny’s undergraduate residential education prepares young adults for successful, meaningful lives by promoting students’ intellectual, moral, and social development and encouraging personal and civic responsibility. Allegheny's faculty and staff combine high academic standards and a commitment to the exchange of knowledge with a supportive approach to learning. Graduates are equipped to think critically and creatively, write clearly, speak persuasively, and meet challenges in a diverse, interconnected world.

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. For example, Allegheny students study political science as they prepare for medical school. They take ballroom dancing, participate in varsity basketball and conduct lab research–all in the same week.

We offer 47 majors & programs and over 44 minors; students choose from over 900 unique combinations of majors and minors.

Over and over again, we hear from leaders in business, government, medicine, education, and community service that the future belongs to individuals who are innovators, inventors, and big picture thinkers – those who can think both creatively and analytically. It is this preparation for careers – and for life – that Allegheny, with its emphasis on “Unusual Combinations,” is known for providing.

Allegheny is located in Meadville, Pennsylvania, a metropolitan, county seat with a population of 30,000, located approximately 30 minutes from I-90 and I-80, two miles off of I-79.
