The first institution of higher education in Georgia to receive
regional accreditation, Agnes Scott College dedicated itself from
the beginning to the highest level of “moral and
intellectual training and education.” Its emphasis on
academic excellence and a rigorous liberal arts curriculum
“fully abreast of the best institutions of this
country” has always encouraged independent thinking in an
atmosphere for learning. The College’s residential campus,
now prized for both its aesthetic distinction and state-of-the-art
facilities, has given all student generations a sense of place,
purpose and responsibility. A founding member of many national and
regional educational associations, Agnes Scott has been a member of
Phi Beta Kappa since 1926.
