Apply to Goucher

The majors you want. The career you dream about. The global advantage you need. 

The selection process at Goucher College is highly individualized, and members of the admissions committee pay particularly close attention not only to students' academic development, but also to their personal qualities, talents, interests, and extracurricular involvement—qualifications on college applications that may not be reflected in standardized test scores, which are optional in Goucher's college admissions process.
