At Allegheny College, you’ll challenge yourself to think bigger by choosing a major and a minor in two completely different fields—like Business and Music, Biology and French, or Environmental Science and Creative Writing.
These bold, unexpected combinations expand your perspective and prepare you to lead a life filled with purpose, achievement, and impact.
You also benefit from our pre-professional pathways, accelerated master’s and dual-degree partnerships, and resumé-boosting microcredentials.
Two New Tuition Initiatives
Allegheny College is committed to providing affordable, world-class education through its new Impact Scholarship and Tuition Promise opportunities.
The Impact Scholarship will enroll up to 50 students into the Impact Scholar Program annually, with each student receiving a full-tuition scholarship for all four years of study, plus first-year experiences designed specifically to help them turn their potential into purpose. What will you do with an education designed to help you make an impact?
Our Tuition Promise is an expanded two-part commitment to education affordability and financial transparency, right in our backyard. The “Commitment to Access Program” (CAP), provides free tuition to PA and OH families with an annual income of $75,000 or less. All other PA and OH students will pay no more than the listed tuition at Penn State, University Park, approximately $20,000 for the 2027-28 academic year.
Extraordinary Outcomes
Our Class of 2025 is enjoying early success with a 98% career or graduate school placement within six months of graduation.
An Allegheny College degree prepares you not just for your first career, but for careers that we have yet to imagine.

Testimonials
My involvement with music has helped me to develop creative thinking within physics and other areas of my life, and I have also been able to apply the analytical aspect of physics to my music to help me play more technically and understand the theory much better.
Allegheny’s rigorous and well-rounded environment taught me how to thrive under pressure, a skill that has been invaluable in medical school and will continue to serve me throughout my career.
I think I’ve always been an artist before a scientist because I’m so good at narrative advising and anthropomorphizing biology because there’s so much to look at and apply to a human lens. Biology itself is an art – the things that our cells do are art, and are so masterfully detailed in a way that we can’t even really understand.
During my four years, Allegheny College has profoundly impacted me as a person and a student. The College’s rigorous academic environment centered around interdisciplinary learning has enhanced my critical thinking skills and allowed me to gain a deeper appreciation for lifelong learning.
