Graduate Programs

At Alma, we educate for careers and for life. That means designing a pathway that meets your academic goals — and gets you where you need to go. You’ll travel the world, pursue in-depth research and build lifelong relationships with your professors. And you’ll do it in a community committed to your success. That’s why we created the Alma Commitment: our promise to help you plan a journey that ensures you graduate on time — and if you don’t, we’ll pay your tuition for an additional term.

The Alma Commitment

At Alma, your education is a shared commitment. We pledge to provide you with the experience and support you need to be well prepared for graduation and your career.

We’ll help you plan your courses at Alma to ensure you graduate on time. And if you don’t, Alma will cover your tuition for an additional term. That’s how much we believe in the power of an Alma College education.

“I use engaging and hands-on activities in my classes to help students build skills that will help them apply concepts and theories from psychology to their own lives. In my mentoring, I strive to help students develop the skills and confidence to reach their goals.”
– Kelly Cuccolo, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Psychology

Where Will You Venture?

Dream it, learn it, do it. We designed the Alma Venture so that every student has the opportunity to experience learning in action during their time at Alma.

You might spend a summer teaching music in Rwanda, participate in an archeological dig in Ireland or study coral reef ecology in Hawaii. Or maybe you’ll stay closer to home and delve into independent research right here on campus. Wherever you choose to venture, we’re here to help you make it happen — and to prove it, we’ll give you up to $2,500 in funding!

Professional Development

An Alma education goes far beyond the classroom. From getting hands-on clinical experience in preparation for a career in medicine to landing your dream internship in New York City, the Center for Student Opportunity will help you develop the skills and experience you need to thrive in your career.

That’s why 50% of Alma students participate in an internship before graduating, and 91% of Alma graduates are working in full-time positions or attending graduate school within six months of graduation.
