Alma College, founded in 1886, is a four-year residential liberal arts college located in the heart of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. A deep regard for students as individuals is fundamental to an Alma education, with small classes and many opportunities for one-on-one collaboration with dedicated faculty.
Alma’s academic programs encourage students to put the ideas and theories they discuss in the classroom to work in real world settings through internships, research, campus leadership, study abroad and service to others.
