CARNEGIE MELLON 3-2 PROGRAM

Allegheny College has an agreement with the Heinz College of Carnegie Mellon University to offer a 3-2 cooperative program.

Students who enroll in this accelerated master’s degree program will complete three years of study at Allegheny College and two years at Carnegie Mellon University. Upon completing this program, the student will receive a bachelor’s and master’s degree in less time than is usually required to earn both degrees.

CUPPER SCHOLARS PROGRAM

If you’re interested in collaborative research with a faculty member at Allegheny College, join the Cupper Scholars Program. The program provides students with additional mentoring and research opportunities.
