College List for a Student New to the Search Process (Economics, Public Policy, Public Health)

Another to look at could be Agnes Scott College in Atlanta. It’s an excellent women’s college that’s diverse and generous with merit. Its Public Health major is particularly strong, as it was developed in collaboration with the Emory U School of Public Health, and allows students to take grad-level classes toward their MPH while still in undergrad. (There are also internship opportunities through the CDC in Atlanta.) Majors are also available in Econ, Poli Sci, and International Relations. Agnes Scott has cross-registration agreements with Georgia Tech, Emory, and other area colleges. There’s both a student newspaper and a literary magazine; and 46% of students study abroad.
