Recognized as one of Loren Pope's 40 Colleges That Change Lives, Allegheny College is one of the nation's oldest and most dynamic private liberal arts institutions. Allegheny is a leader in higher education innovation, having been recognized as Number 1 in Undergraduate Research among four-year colleges by the Council on Undergraduate Research (2016) and as one of the country's top 30 most innovative national liberal arts colleges by U.S. News and World Report (2019).
Allegheny is the nation's premier college for students with "Unusual Combinations" of interests, skills, and talents. At Allegheny, when members of the college community talk about unusual combinations, they mean it as a tremendous compliment—a compliment that recognizes the unique character of each student.
When you look around, you'll see an aspiring diplomat singing in the choir and building a bike path, and a future physician who edits the college newspaper and pole vaults on an international stage. Unusual combinations, yes, but at Allegheny they are everyday examples of students exploring all of their talents, all of their passions.
Central to the college's focus on experiential learning is the Allegheny Gateway, which helps students connect classroom learning with real-world experience. Since its introduction in 2015, the Gateway has received national attention. It is a central location for collaboration and study in which students can access resume and career services, pre-professional and graduate school advising, research funding and fellowships, internship opportunities, and more.
