Advising Guides for New and First-Year Students
These advising guides are intended especially for new and
first-years students as a means of helping you 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. (All of these are pdf files.)
