Allegheny College: Tradition & Transformation

Allegheny requires all students to complete a comprehensive senior research project.
The Allegheny College Center for Experiential Learning (ACCEL) offers students opportunities for internships, study abroad, experiential learning, community service and career preparation.
The Center for Economic and Environmental Development (CEED) provides active learning opportunities for students, tying its economic and environmental projects in the community into the curriculum.
Allegheny has established a strong network of internships. Most notable among them is the Washington Semester, which gives students a semester-long opportunity to work, learn, network and experience our nation's capital.
Allegheny College is one of ten institutions of higher education to participate in Project Pericles, a national project committed to instilling in students a sense of social responsibility and civic concern.
More than 60% of the students volunteer in the community each year, resulting in more than 25,000 hours of annual community service.

Allegheny graduates experience acceptance rates of double the national average at medical/dental and law schools.
Allegheny ranks in the top 7% of liberal arts colleges in the number of students who go on to earn Ph.D.s and in the top 4% of liberal arts colleges in producing U.S. business leaders.
