Outcomes Overview
Agnes Scott graduates earn a median salary of $56,274 ten years after graduation, resulting in a debt-to-earnings ratio of 48%. Monthly loan payments of $284 consume about 6% of typical graduate income. The 93.6% employment rate reflects strong career preparation through the college's signature SUMMIT leadership program. Many alumnae enter fields like education, nonprofit work, and the arts, following paths similar to notable graduates like Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Marsha Norman. The 56% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle with debt management despite decent earnings. While the college provides excellent preparation for purpose-driven careers, the financial return represents an average investment given the substantial debt load relative to typical liberal arts outcomes.
