Allegheny College is a small private liberal arts college located in Meadville, Pennsylvania located 90 miles north of Pittsburgh and 90 miles east of Cleveland. Founded in April 1815 by Timothy Alden, Allegheny College was the first college west of the Appalachian Mountains. The college has been historically affiliated with the United Methodist Church when, following a period in 1833 during which the college was forced to close due to financial difficulties, the United Methodist Church provided the financial backing necessary to reopen. Despite the college's formal affiliation with the United Methodist Church, it welcomes members of all faiths and maintains a policy of non-discrimination.
