A Phi Beta Kappa institution, Alma is classified as as selective Baccalaureate College—Liberal Arts by the prestigious Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. That distinguished classification is held by only four other Michigan colleges.
The College was founded in 1886 by Michigan Presbyterians. While still maintaining a close relationship with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Alma College offers an environment that welcomes students of all religious backgrounds. The College's attractive campus is located in the city of Alma (population approximately 9,000) at the center of Michigan's lower peninsula.
With an enrollment of nearly 1,400 students (41 percent men and 59 percent women), the College employs a full-time teaching faculty of 82, of which 90 percent hold the Ph.D. or other terminal degree. The student-teacher ratio is 14:1, and no classes are taught by graduate students.
