Alma College is an undergraduate, private liberal arts institution that highlights personalized education, social responsibility and extraordinary achievements.
What does this mean? Well, you can be confident that your son or daughter will graduate a well-rounded individual with critical thinking skills and knowledge in a variety of topics. Alma offers over 40 majors, minors, pre-professional programs and self-designed programs of emphasis, so there’s a lot of learning going on here.
Students are engaged learners at Alma.
Learning doesn’t just take place inside the classroom, however. Along with campus activities and service learning, Alma students have the opportunity to grow through opportunities like Spring Term, a short term during the month of May that allows students to delve deeply into a specific topic.
Spring Term is just one of the many highlights of the Alma experience. We have an “encyclopedia” full of other highlights and terms that you may hear your student talking about, and we encourage you to check it out. For more information, you also can review our policies and handbooks.
