Application Instructions: To be considered for admission into the cohort in School Improvement Leadership, complete the application/registration form and send to Graduate Programs in Education, Goucher College, 1021 Dulaney Valley Road, Balimore, MD 21204.

Each applicant will be sent and be required to sign and return the Cohort Participant Agreement Form that is required by BCPS for participation in a cohort. Signing this form will serve as your acceptance of admissions into the cohort and M.Ed. program.

BCPS Cohort Policies: BCPS defines a cohort as a group of individuals who start and finish an approved sequence of courses together. In accordance with this policy, once you have joined a cohort you are unable to move to a different one. Therefore, Goucher College is unable to allow students to switch the order or location in which they take classes. If, for any reason, you choose not to take a course during the semester in which it is offered, you will be permitted to rejoin the cohort that you started with, but you will not be able to take the course(s) that you missed at the cohort rate at a later date. You would be allowed to register and pay for the course at the full tuition rate, and seek reimbursement on your own (if you are eligible for reimbursement).

Other Important Information

Participants are required to complete each course in the cohort with a grade of C or higher. (Any participant who does not complete the course or does not earn a grade of C or higher will be responsible for payment of the $750.00 tuition directly to Goucher College). Students who withdraw after the first class are subject to the withdrawal policies of Goucher College.

Participants are required to purchase textbooks on or before the first night of class. Textbooks will be available for purchase through the Goucher College Bookstore at http://goucher.bkstore.com/bkstore/content.
