Goucher College at a Glance

Goucher College is a small, private, coeducational, liberal arts and sciences college with an international perspective and an academic program that partners classroom learning with real-world experience. Our students are technologically savvy, living and learning on a state-of-the-art campus with 16 “smart” classrooms with multimedia equipment and Internet access, an e-mail network connecting everyone on campus, and several computer, multimedia, and language labs. Many of them collaborate with faculty members on nationally recognized, federally funded research projects and publications, and many have extensive international experience. Outside of class, they are active in community service programs and over 50 student-run clubs and organizations.

Offering majors in 18 different departments and six interdisciplinary areas, Goucher College's academic program is expansive in both range and depth. A Goucher education cuts across disciplines to encompass a vast body of knowledge, and couples that knowledge with internships, study-abroad, and service learning programs that test, shape, and reinforce the lessons learned in class.
