Summit Learning Outcomes

SUMMIT is a unique college experience in which every student, regardless of major, is prepared to lead effectively in a global society through a curriculum and co-curriculum focused on global learning and leadership development. Participating in SUMMIT will prepare students for a multitude of paths after their time at Agnes Scott by helping them achieve the following knowledge and skills:

Demonstrate knowledge and skills essential for global engagement

I have embraced the challenge to be a global citizen. 

Communicate effectively through writing and speaking, especially across cultural or linguistic differences

At Agnes Scott, we think critically and communicate effectively. It’s pretty cool. 

Articulate and appraise problems and solutions from multiple perspectives, critically considering diverse sources of information

Agnes Scott has taught me that I offer a unique perspective to any experience.

Identify and assess one’s values, interests and abilities

Students are people too! 

Practice or interpret creative expression or probe fundamental questions of value and meaning

Earth without art is just eh. 

Interpret quantitative information or demonstrate the methods of inquiry appropriate for investigating the natural world

Quality over quantity, but quantity is important, too. 

Analyze human behavior or social relations

What does it all mean, anyways.

Major Learning Outcomes

Students graduating with a History major from Agnes Scott College will be able to:

Seek, find, evaluate and utilize primary sources and secondary historical literature

I’ve got the history skills to pay the history bills

Develop and articulate persuasive arguments based in historical evidence both orally and in written work

Historians love to fight. (ง’̀-‘́)ง

Apply knowledge and critical interpretation of the past to an understanding of crucial aspects of one’s own cultural and historical background, as well as the backgrounds of others

I’m very good at writing essays. 

Describe and analyze current developments within historical contexts

There’s a reason why all of this is happening, you know. 

Apply the results of research, writing and speaking experiences within the major, along with experiential learning and career investigation opportunities (internships, externships, seminars or workshops conducted by history faculty and alumnae) to career planning and graduate school and job applications

History is all about the present.
