Located in the heart of mid-Michigan, Alma College is a small, private liberal arts school that is nationally recognized for its elite educational programs. Rooted in Scottish heritage since 1886, the Alma College Choir has maintained a central role in the culture of the college and continues to embrace the Scottish heritage of the community, including donning the official Alma College tartan, which is shipped from Scotland and has been officially registered since 1999. As you drive into the town of Alma, you’ll even see a sign that reads “Scotland, U.S.A.” The Scots who attend college at Alma value personal relationships, quality education, and leading impactful lives.
