Student Profile
Jeremy
Beh
Greenville, Pennsylvania
Major: Mathematics
Minors: History
“Every time I go to professors with a question, they are willing
to take the time to help me figure things out.”
Jeremy Beh decided to come to Allegheny because he thought it was the
one college that would give him “the best of both worlds”—academics
and athletics.
Jeremy says he wasn’t sure what he wanted to major in when he
entered Allegheny, but his advisors helped him realize that he should
do what he does best. So when he’s not tackling opponents with
the College’s Gators on the football field, he’s busy calculating
math problems off the field.
