SUMMIT is a revolutionary program launched by Agnes Scott College to promote leadership development and global learning. Every student completes coursework specifically designed to instill leadership skills. Every student also completes a course which culminates in a week long cultural immersion journey in a global location. It is no surprise that ASC was ranked as the no. 1 most innovative liberal arts college in the US by the U.S. News & World Report in 2018!
