Allegheny College

Completing more than 34,000 volunteer hours around the community each year, students at Allegheny College are actively engaged in learning about and shaping their community. Students are required to have a major and minor in different divisions, and they have plenty of choices: the college offers more than 30 majors; preprofessional programs for health and law; cooperative programs with other colleges such as Case Western Reserve University, Carnegie Mellon University and Chatham University; and new programs in energy and society and integrative informatics. Allegheny also demonstrates its commitment to sustainability with its Climate Action Plan to be climate neutral by 2020. In 2018, the college began renovating Bentley Hall, one of the campuss most prominent buildings. Allegheny welcomed Hilary Link as its 22nd president and first female president in the colleges history in July. Graduates from the Classes of 2018 and 2019 have been recipients of Fulbright Awards and after graduation, 93% of students are employed within six months and 10% are accepted into organizations like the Peace Corps and Teach for America.
