It enjoys a spacious 125-acre campus located in Alma, Michigan, one hour north of the state capital of Lansing, in the center of the Lower Peninsula. Twelve miles west of the campus is the College’s Ecological Station, since 1889 the site of faculty-student research. Alma awards bachelor degrees in the arts, sciences, fine arts, and music; and Alma graduates enjoy high success in graduate school enrollment and first professional employment. Alma hosts a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, one of only seven in Michigan.
