Albright’s Artificial Intelligence major goes beyond using AI tools, to help students understand the essential building blocks of computer science and data science that enable AI applications to be built. With a firm grounding in machine learning, computational theory, applications and ethics, students will be prepared for roles in one of the fastest-growing sectors of technology. Computer Science: Previously a co-major, Albright’s expanded Computer Science major will provide students with comprehensive training in computational problem solving, software engineering, algorithms and AI. The curriculum emphasizes applied computer science, preparing students to be ready to build the world’s next great apps, games and AI applications. Modern best practices are infused in every class, including industry relevant programming languages and connections to the humanities through design and ethics. Cybersecurity: As digital threats increase, Albright’s Cybersecurity major will train students to protect information systems and digital infrastructure. With a grounding in computer science, the program encompasses network security, cryptography, ethical hacking, digital forensics and security policy, with a focus on practical applications and industry-recognized certifications. “These programs represent Albright’s strategic vision to prepare our students for the jobs of tomorrow.” said Debra M.

This is why – to spark the passions of student-athletes – Albright has new NCAA Division III varsity athletic teams to energize its Lions’ spirit of competition and community. Men’s and Women’s Wrestling : With the rebirth of the men’s program, paused since 2006, and debut of women’s wrestling, both teams reflect Albright’s ongoing efforts to respond to student interests and passions. The men’s team is already competing, while the women’s team hits the mat in Fall 2026.

It’s about discovering a place that encourages curiosity, supports ambition, and prepares you to navigate a complex, ever-changing world. At Allegheny College, your education is built on the belief that your interests do not have to fit neatly into one box. In fact, some of the most powerful learning happens at the intersections, where science meets ethics, where art informs policy, and where passion becomes purpose.

Career exploration and preparation start early and evolve intentionally throughout your four years. Life on campus is vibrant and engaged, offering a balance of academic rigor and creative expression. Students participate in more than 100 clubs and organizations, including performing arts ensembles, athletic teams, leadership opportunities, and service initiatives. The performing and creative arts are central to campus life, providing opportunities for both majors and non-majors to perform, create, and collaborate. Athletics also play a significant role, with Allegheny competing in NCAA Division III and emphasizing teamwork, leadership, and balance. Allegheny’s location enhances its sense of community while providing access to meaningful opportunities. Meadville is a welcoming, safe college town with a strong tradition of civic engagement, environmental stewardship, and innovation. Students form lasting connections not only with one another, but also with the broader community through internships, service projects, and partnerships.
