Agnes Scott College

• Agnes Scott College is a national liberal arts college located in Decatur, GA (just miles away from downtown Atlanta)/ We are known for SUMMIT, an academically rigorous four-year experience grounded in real-world, hands-on learning opportunities emphasizing global learning, leadership development and professional success in order to prepare each student for a lifetime of intellectual, social and professional growth and mobility.
• A small, vibrant, living-learning community in a large metropolis, Agnes Scott was founded in 1889 and is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
• Agnes Scott’s mission is to educate students to think deeply, live honorably, and engage the intellectual and social challenges of their times.
• Agnes Scott College is an inclusive women’s college. By creating a community for and about women, women’s colleges empower independent students to affect both personal and collective change, at both a local and global scale. A women’s college allows for many benefits. Besides being academically challenging, small class sizes leave open the opportunity for individualized faculty attention and mentorship, while a welcoming, inclusive community of like-minded souls creates a network of lifelong friendships and support.
• Agnes Scott College fosters an environment in which students can develop high expectations for themselves as individuals, scholars, professionals, and citizens of the world.

• Through SUMMIT, all students participate in an immersive leadership course with practicum experience and a global citizenship course with practical travel experience (domestic and international). During the sophomore year through SCALE, all students participate in a week-long leadership externship at an Atlanta company or organization.
• Agnes Scott regularly ranks among the top campuses for Town-Gown Relations, LGBTQ Friendliness, Best Alumni Network, and Schools for Making an Impact in The Princeton Review.
• Agnes Scott is recognized as the No. 1 Most Innovative Liberal Arts College in the Country (for the sixth year in a row) by U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 Best Colleges rankings.
• Agnes Scott is a top producer of U.S. Fulbright grant recipients, as determined by The Chronicle of Higher Education.
• As a learning community that embraces its identity and mission as a women’s college and its commitment to inclusive excellence, we admit students who were assigned female at birth, as well as, those who were assigned male or female at birth, but who now identify as female, transgender, agender, gender fluid or non-binary.
• The student-governed Honor Code dates back to 1906 and promotes a high level of integrity and ethics on campus. Benefits of the Honor Code include unproctored and self-scheduled exams.
• Distinguished alumnae include: Georgia’s first female Rhodes Scholar; Fulbright, Goldwater, Truman, Rhodes, Pickering, and Gates Millennium scholarship winners; the Chief Justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court; the CEO of Ann Taylor; Pulitzer Prize, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony winners; and the first woman to chair the Federal Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

• 100% of tenure-track faculty hold the most advanced degree in their field; of these, approximately 70% are women or gender non-conforming.
• Top majors include Psychology, Neuroscience, Public Health, Business Management, Creative Writing, and International Studies.
• Students may cross-register for courses at area colleges through the Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education (ARCHE).
