Making decisions about your education is a big deal! We’re here to help you every step of the way — you’ll even get your own personal admissions representative.
We understand this is a critical time in your college search process, and although some of our more traditional options are temporarily suspended, we are here to help you achieve your goals. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made several changes:
- Our SAT/ACT requirement for admissions has been suspended for 18 months. A non-testing admissions pathway is now available for all students.
- You can visit Alma from home. We offer a video tour, online events, and virtual tours with our admissions staff, faculty, and other staff volunteers.
- Expanded financial assistance for incoming and current students.
Alma College offers a world of opportunity at your fingertips. Rigorous academics paired with ample experiential learning opportunities, extra-curricular activities, and a supportive campus community mean you’re well prepared for the world when you graduate. Learn why Alma College is a worthy investment in your future.
Alma is an affordable option: 100% of students receive some form of aid.
