Allegheny College is one of the nation’s best colleges for students seeking a great education with excellent career preparation and at a relatively affordable price, according to The Princeton Review®.
The education services company named Allegheny College as one of its Best Value Colleges for 2024. Allegheny College, founded in 1815, is one of the nation’s most historic and innovative four-year colleges, with the unique requirement of completing a major and minor in different academic areas. This multidisciplinary learning celebrates students’ desire to pursue unusual combinations of interests and breaks the conventional mold to provide creative, independent thinkers with a path for educational depth and intellectual growth, preparing them for careers that may not yet exist.
Jennifer Winge, Vice President for Enrollment Management said, “We are proud to have earned the Best Value Ranking. We know that distinct opportunities like our major and minor requirement, guaranteed research in one’s major, and cutting-edge programs like microcredentials prepare students for a successful launch after graduation. Families seek a return on their investment, and Allegheny’s strategic blend of career exploration and foundation in the liberal arts and sciences results in extraordinary outcomes.”
Additionally, Allegheny is listed among the best schools for Making an Impact, reinforcing the College’s commitment to a vibrant and inclusive community. Winge added, “It’s nice to note that in the top 10, we keep good company with schools like Pitzer, Emory, Brown and Pomona.”
Allegheny College has appeared on the “Best Value Colleges” list multiple times since it was first published in 2004. The Princeton Review chose 209 schools for the 2024 list based on data from its surveys of administrators at more than 650 colleges, surveys of students attending the schools, and data from PayScale.com’s surveys of alumni about their starting and mid-career salaries and job satisfaction. In all, ratings were based on more than 40 data points related to academics, affordability, and career preparation.
Additional rankings awarded to Allegheny College so far in 2024 include, U.S. News & World Report Top 25 for Undergraduate Research/Creative Projects and U.S. News & World Report Top 35 Colleges for Undergraduate Teaching.
