Allegheny is a unique place where students embrace the College's total
educational experience. Our students have the uncanny ability to
create unusual combinations of interests and talents. These "wonderfully
weird" combinations enhance our students' success here and ensure excellence
in their future careers.
Allegheny provides outstanding opportunities for students to grow in the true "liberal arts"
tradition through its top-notch programs and activities. In addition to your support, our students
have the support of a dedicated, caring and accessible faculty.
"New
Generations of alumni provide the continuity that perpetuates a
university. Its officers come and go, its faculty changes, its programs
and buildings are replaced, but its alumni maintain a lifelong
relationship with the university." - Henry T. Herald, then president of
the Ford Foundation, 1960.
"Allegheny is a very special place. I know of no other college
that has the combination of academic challenge, caring support, and
opportunity for participation that Allegheny has. These qualities are
consistently reaffirmed by students, faculty, and alumni." - Richard J.
Cook, President, Allegheny College
