Agnes Scott is a women's college and can, therefore, only accept students who identify as female.

As an ISEP student, you can build your own program by choosing your courses from a variety of fields. Use the notes for course searching to help you find which courses are available.

Agnes Scott is a liberal arts college. Students are encouraged to take courses in a variety of departments and are not required only to take courses in their field of study. 

ASC is academically rigorous and is writing intensive. One hundred percent of the permanent ASC faculty have a Ph.D. degree or a terminal degree in their field, so expectations of student performance are quite high. The average class size is 15 students, so there is a high level of personal interaction between students and faculty. ISEP students have said that Agnes Scott College is academically challenging and personally rewarding. 

HOUSING

Residence halls have internet and laundry facilities. Washers and dryers are accessible with an ASC ID card. 

Residence hall options can be viewed at: http://www.agnesscott.edu/residencelife/ 

Please note that although ISEP students can mention their housing preferences, they do not select where they stay. Our office of Residence Life will assign housing based on availability and class seniority. 

Students may stay on campus during vacation periods but sometimes might have to move to another residence hall. Students staying for only the Fall semester (Semester 1) must move out on the last day of benefits and cannot stay during the winter break. They will be charged a housing fee if they stay past the last day of benefits. 

Year-long students may stay throughout the winter break without additional charges.

MEALS

ISEP students will be provided with the 21 Meal Plan, which includes Meal Swipes and Declining Balance dollars (credit that can be used at Mollie’s Grill and Black Cat Coffee on campus), conveniently loaded onto your Student ID card.   

**Halal and Kosher meat are not available in the dining hall.

ISEP students will be provided with a stipend ($20 a day) to cover meal costs during vacation periods within the semester when the dining hall is closed.
