Exciting! (And, true!)
Agnes Scott College is proud to announce that it has been recognized among the top 5% of colleges who educate women best nationwide in Newsweek’s America’s Best Colleges for Women 2026.
“At Agnes Scott, we believe the world is better when more women are at the table, in the lab, in the boardroom and in public life,” said Leocadia I. Zak, president of Agnes Scott College. “This recognition reflects our commitment to making that a reality for every student who walks through our doors.”
Every element of the Agnes Scott experience is designed with one goal in mind: sending women into the world ready to lead. At the heart of that preparation is the nationally recognized Summit curriculum, designed to ensure every undergraduate graduates as a critical thinker, a clear communicator and an ethical leader with a global perspective. The result is graduates who are ready to contribute from day one, in whatever field or community they choose.
This recognition from Newsweek underscores what defines Agnes Scott: a college grounded in the enduring promise of women’s education. That mission lives in every dimension of an Agnes Scott education — in the academic rigor that sharpens the mind, the global learning that expands perspective, and the intentional focus on leadership and career preparation that helps students step confidently into the world.
