Academic Opportunities

At Alma College, you can choose from more than 40 different majors, minors or pre-professional programs. You can combine them in any way, selecting two majors if you wish or designing your own unique major called a Program of Emphasis with your faculty advisor. If you are unsure what major you would like to pursue, click here for information on Major Exploration.

Academic opportunities at Alma go beyond a traditional set of classes and span across the various academic programs. You may consider:

  • The Honors Program, through which you can pursue membership in Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's preeminent honor society;
  • Presenting independent research at our annual campus-wide Honors Day;

Explore these opportunities at your leisure; when you arrange visits to campus, ask to speak with faculty about the best ways to weave them into your educational path. We are excited about your interest in Alma and the academic achievements that await you!

The Alma College Percussion Ensemble performed at the prestigious Centrum Jazz Festival, an international festival in Port Townsend, Wash., in July 2007. Alma was the only college group invited to perform. "It's a huge honor," says faculty director Dave Zerbe. "You can't apply to perform there; they seek you out."
