EXPLORE ATLANTA.

HAVE FUN. When you’re located in Decatur, Georgia, just minutes away from downtown Atlanta,

your student experience is limited only by your imagination. You might:

SERVE with AID Atlanta, YWCA, Habitat for Humanity or any one of thousands

of nonprofit organizations.

EXPLORE a city that is home to over 20 colleges and universities, numerous large

and small concert venues, an awesome food scene and great weather.

ENRICH your knowledge of art, culture and social activism by visiting places like

the High Museum of Art, the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site or

The Breman Jewish Heritage and Holocaust Museum.

Before you graduate from Agnes Scott College, you will:

• Participate in a FACULTY-LED TRAVEL EXPERIENCE

• STUDY A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE of your choosing

• Complete a series of LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT courses, activities

and retreats

• Benefit from the mentorship of a personalized BOARD OF ADVISORS

(and the close attention that results from a 10:1 student-to-faculty

ratio)

• More than likely INTERN (77 percent of our students do) or SERVE

IN THE COMMUNITY (80 percent of Scotties serve)

• CONDUCT MENTORED RESEARCH (71 percent of the Class of 2016 did)

• Participate in traditions—like BLACK CAT, SPRING FLING and the

SOPHOMORE RING CEREMONY—that you will remember long after

you graduate

Fun? Yes. Challenging? Also yes. But as you’ll soon find out,

Scotties never back down from a challenge.
