About
History
Agnes Scott College was established in 1889 with a distinctive mission: to educate women for the betterment of their families and the elevation of their region. Today, that mission has evolved into a commitment to educate students from around the world to “think deeply, live honorably and engage the intellectual and social challenges of their times.”

Research
Students are strongly encouraged to seek out opportunities to become engaged in research, especially those students planning to attend graduate school in the biological sciences or related fields. Students should be proactive in their search for a research experience and ideally should begin serious inquiries not later than their sophomore year at Agnes Scott. A variety of research opportunities exists for students, both on and off campus.
Career
Building “Career Literacy” is part of the mission of the Office of Internship and Career Development. Our goal is for students to increase their awareness of possible career paths, find options that fit their interest, and feel knowledgeable about ways they can transfer skills and learning from the classroom to the workplace.

Class at Agnes Scott
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
This university was a perfect match for me. It was extremely beneficial to my studies, as my classes were quite small. I was able to clearly communicate with any of my professors and receive help from them from both inside and outside the class.
