| UNIQUE/SPECIAL PROGRAMS |
|
Learning at Allegheny is an active, hands-on process thanks to special teaching methods, classes that average 16 students, and emphasis on original research and innovative uses of computing. Strong advising that begins in the First Seminar, coupled with the many structured choices built into the curriculum, lets students hand-craft a four-year program to match their goals and needs. "Such personal attention, coupled with a broad required curriculum, virtually ensures a solid education" at Allegheny, notes The Insider's Guide to the Colleges. |
