Company History

Alma College was founded on the basis of having a high literary and scientific character.

In 1885, the Presbyterian Synod of Michigan appointed a committee to consider the establishment of a Presbyterian college within the state and to secure funds for its foundation. The committee found Ammi W. Wright, an Alma lumberman with several business interests. He offered two buildings to the college and about 30 acres of land.

The first Board of Trustees was soon formed. It included Wright, August F. Bruske and George F. Hunting. The board began the process of putting together the college’s first faculty in 1886. Hunting, who became Alma College’s first president, was among them. Other faculty members included Mary C. Gelston. Many of these names are now legacies that live on within the buildings on campus.

Embracing our Scottish heritage comes naturally. As you drive into the town of Alma, you’ll see a sign that reads Scotland, U.S.A. We offer one of the best Highland Arts programs 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.
