The Women’s College Advantage

Agnes Scott doesn’t settle for giving women a seat at the table. It puts them at the head of it.

That has been true since 1889. Long before women were welcomed into most boardrooms and labs, Agnes Scott was built on the conviction that women belong where decisions are made.

As one of only 29 women's colleges in the country, women lead every organization, hold every elected position and drive every campus debate. Your thinking shapes the conversation because Agnes Scott was designed to make space for your voice. You'll be inspired by faculty, surrounded by peers who match your ambition and prepared to lead wherever your path takes you.

Belonging Is Built In

You don't have to choose which parts of yourself are welcome here. There is no racial or ethnic majority at Agnes Scott, so different perspectives are the norm. You'll learn how to listen, collaborate and lead with people whose experiences are different from your own. Here, your argument doesn't get talked over or redirected, and credit goes to the person who earned it.

Be Ready for Tomorrow

Agnes Scott builds careers deliberately. By sophomore year, every student is already inside one of Atlanta's leading boardrooms, labs, campaign offices or clinics as a contributor. You'll build a record of experience and join the 95% of graduates who are employed or enrolled in top-tier graduate programs within a year of receiving their diploma. Our alumni network is ranked #14 in the country, with Scotties leading in every field and industry. That's a lot of doors waiting to be opened.

Flex Cross-Cultural Fluency

During your first year at Agnes Scott, you'll board a plane with faculty for an immersive global learning experience. You'll return with something that follows you everywhere—a global perspective, the confidence to navigate the unfamiliar and the resilience to take on what’s next. Agnes Scott is ranked #6 in the country for study abroad, with faculty-led and independent programs spanning six continents. By graduation, the world feels smaller. And your place in it feels larger.

Built for Innovation

Agnes Scott has been ranked the #1 most innovative liberal arts college in America for eight consecutive years. We graduate women in STEM at more than double the rate of comparable institutions. Our curriculum moves as fast as the world you're preparing to enter, evolving alongside the questions, industries and opportunities shaping what's next.

Programs evolve. Faculty are active scholars who bring current thinking into every classroom. By graduation, you'll be prepared for whatever is ahead because we’ve spent four years making sure of it.

The Women's College Advantage

From uniquely preparing women to lead in a global society and closing the gap in male-dominated fields, to being epicenters of inclusive excellence and creating a community that promotes lifelong learning and connection beyond graduation - women's colleges have more relevancy today than they ever have before. In addition, these institutions of higher learning are often at the forefront of affordability and accessibility, breaking down barriers to quality education for minority and first-generation college students.
