We welcome students to discover (or, perhaps, rediscover) Allegheny after beginning their undergraduate education elsewhere.

The Allegheny admissions staff is pleased to consider transfer students for both fall and spring semesters, understanding that a student may not have found an ideal fit at his/her current school. If you’d like additional guidance throughout your application process, feel free to contact Transfer Coordinator at admissions@allegheny.edu.
