• Located in Meadville, Pennsylvania, for over 200 years Allegheny College has been the premiere college for students to explore all of their talents, all of their passions, through our unique major and minor requirement.
• Over and over again, we hear from leaders in business, government, medicine, and education that the future belongs to innovators, inventors, and “big picture” thinkers — those who think both analytically and creatively. It is this preparation for the global marketplace — and for life — that ranks Allegheny above the rest and attracts national attention.
• Founded in 1815, Allegheny is the 32nd oldest college in the country and will celebrate its bicentennial in 2015.
• Meadville is located approximately 30 minutes from I-90 and I-80, two miles off of I-79, and just two hours from Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo. Downtown is within walking distance of Allegheny’s historic, 562-acre campus, which includes a 283-acre nature reserve and 203-acre recreational complex.
• Allegheny recognizes its responsibility to pursue campus-wide environmental sustainability. Collaborative efforts between students, faculty, staff, civic leaders, and local residents have developed a comprehensive composting program, green roof, LEED certified buildings, geo-exchange heating and cooling, porous parking lots, wind generated electricity, an annual campus wide energy challenge, and a Climate Action Plan to achieve climate neutrality by the year 2020.

• Allegheny is one of a handful of colleges that requires both a major and minor program of study. With the freedom to select from over 900 combinations of majors and minors, students expand their concentrations beyond one division of the liberal arts and sciences, developing the skills essential in today’s global marketplace: being articulate, innovative, analytical, collaborative, and creative.
• During the first two years, every Allegheny student participates in seminars that focus on written and oral communication as well as academic and career advising. This progressive course sequence helps students create a four-year program to match their goals and needs, and the faculty instructor serves as advisor for both years.
• All Allegheny students complete a Senior Project in their major field; a significant piece of original research that demonstrates the skills most prized by employers and graduate schools.
• Led by faculty members from different major programs, Allegheny Experiential Learning Seminars offer for credit off-campus, intensive learning tours to students at the end of each spring semester. Recent study tour groups explored Belize, Cambodia, Canada, Columbia, France, Laos, Moldova, Norway, Spain, Ukraine, and Vietnam.
