Graduates
Spring Term at Alma is a one-month immersion on a single academic topic that offers learning experiences not typically available during the more traditional 15-week fall and winter terms. For example, during Spring Term 2012, students observed lizards in Bermuda, studied modern economic development in India, performed dance in Taiwan, examined renewable energy in Europe and investigated medicinal plants in the Amazon rainforest.

“Before coming to Alma, I was sure that I wanted to be a doctor, but hospital rotations helped me figure out that pre-med wasn’t for me,” she says. “While it was really interesting to see all the different parts of the hospital, I don’t see myself in a hospital setting anymore.”
