Post-baccalaureate programs are not available in Early Childhood or Middle Grades. Graduate catalogs are available on microfiche in McCain Library. The College encourages students interested in a career in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or allied health professions to pursue the major of their choice.
Medical schools are interested in liberal arts graduates.
Agnes Scott students have gone to medical school having majored in classics, art, French and other subjects. The Health Professions Advising Committee, advisory to the assistant dean of the College, counsels students on academic programs, preparation for professional school and ways to enhance acceptability into health programs. The committee writes letters of evaluation to each school to which a student applies. Students have the opportunity to meet with medical college faculty as well as medical students, some of whom are Agnes Scott alumnae. Some schools require calculus.
