Advising Guides for Students
These advising guides are intended especially for new and
first-year students, but they will help all students understand the shape and requirements of Alma College programs. We hope these will help you as
you plan your College experiences. Most of all, these should serve as a
starting point for conversations with your academic advisor and
professors in programs you are considering.
