Graduate Profile
Ted Hutchins
Graduation: 1990
Major: Computer Science
Minor: Religious Studies
Ted Hutchins has been interested in computers since middle school, but he says the liberal arts education at Alma College truly prepared him for life.
“At other institutions computer science students have little incentive or ability to further their education in non-science disciplines,” the 1990 graduate says. “Over the years numerous acquaintances have stated they only took those 'other' course to complete their degree. At Alma most of those 'other' classes were the highlight of the term. A well-rounded education furthered my career in ways that are hard to quantify.”
