Educational Planning Form
Allegheny College is known for helping students to individualize their education- that is, to tailor to the College’s academic and co-curricular offerings to the student’s particular goals and needs.

With the information from this questionnaire, Allegheny’s faculty and staff can begin working with you on a personal plan for your college years and beyond. Should your goals and interests change, we’ll help you modify your plan accordingly.

We’ll be sharing copies with several people whose advice you’ll very much want, including your faculty advisor (who is your First-Year Seminar instructor), your Peer Leaders (current students who will assist in the FS) and your residence hall advisor. In addition, should you express an interest in areas where student organizations exist, we may forward your name to them as well.
