Application and Procedures

To be considered for admission, an applicant must submit the following by March 30, 2012.

• A completed application form, including three copies of the essay and a nonrefundable $50 application fee made payable to Goucher College.
• Official transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work can be sent directly by the institution to the address below or included with your application in the institution’s sealed envelope.
• Recommendation forms completed by people who know you well enough to give an informed opinion of your intellectual ability, capacity for sustained self-directed study, personal qualifications, and professional potential. Application materials should be forwarded to:

Master of Arts in Arts Administration
Welch Center for Graduate and Professional Studies
Goucher College
1021 Dulaney Valley Road
Baltimore, Maryland 21204-2794

Acceptance to the program will be based on an evaluation of the applicant’s work and experience, essay, recommendation forms and transcripts. The essay is particularly important as it demonstrates the applicant’s depth of experience, professional aims and ability to undertake self-directed graduate study and ability to present a cogent argument in writing. Letters of acceptance will be mailed in late April. Accepted students are required to submit an enrollment agreement, along with a nonrefundable $500 deposit. The deposit will be credited toward tuition charges for the upcoming semester.
