Alma College

Embracing our Scottish heritage comes naturally. As you drive into the town of Alma, you’ll see a sign that says Scotland, U.S.A. We offer one of the best Highland Artsprograms in the country, drawing students from across the continent. Our instructors are U.S. and world champions in their fields and love sharing their passion for the Highland Arts with their students. 

We are committed to your success. That’s why we created the Alma Commitment, a promise between Alma College and its students. We pledge to provide you with the experiences and structures that will enable you to be well prepared upon graduating. 

Institutional Research seeks to provide data, reports, and analyses, that support institutional planning and decision-making, encourage the scholarship of teaching and learning, improve the curricular and co-curricular offerings, and effectively document the outcomes of a liberal arts education and the Alma Experience. 

Beginning six months after each year’s graduation date, the Alma College Center for Student Opportunity (CSO) surveys graduates to determine their career outcomes — whether they are working and/or attending graduate school. Of the total number of 2016 graduates who responded to the survey, 92% are either employed or enrolled in graduate school or other educational programs within six months of graduation.
