At Alma College, students not only get an education, but also build lifelong friendships. There is a strong sense of community on this campus, with students from all over the country gathering together.

Alma College’s academic program is designed to prepare students for success in their future endeavors. Programs range from pre-professional studies, such as Pre-Med or Pre-Law, to courses in art and music.

In addition to its academic excellence, Alma College offers numerous extracurricular activities. Our students engage in clubs and organizations ranging from environmental clubs to theatre troupes. There are many sports teams to join, like baseball, lacrosse and skiing (yes, we have a ski club!). We also play host to events such as dances, improv comedy groups and occasional concerts.
