F. Computer Proficiency
Students entering Goucher in fall 1997 and after will meet the computer proficiency requirement through their declared major. Students who entered Goucher before fall 1997 and who have not yet completed the computer science requirement should consult with the department in which they plan to major.
G. Writing Proficiency
College writing proficiency is taught and assessed through the writing program.
All incoming first-year and transfer students should submit a writing placement essay, which the writing program uses to recommend the best route to achieve college writing proficiency. First year students and transfers will be placed in ENG 103, 104, 105, 106 or a WAC course. A student may submit a writing portfolio for review by the writing department at any time. In addition, all students entering Goucher fall 1991 and after must complete a Writing Proficiency in the Major requirement.
H. Foreign Language
Competence in a language other than one’s own is an integral part of the liberal arts education. Language training has broad cultural implications and develops skills necessary to many careers. All students are required to complete the intermediate level of a foreign language. A minimum grade of C- is required to progress from one language level to another. Native speakers and exceptionally well-prepared students may be exempted from the language requirement on the recommendation of the Modern Language and Literature Department.
I. Off-Campus Experience
In order to demonstrate the relevance of the liberal arts to the world outside the college community and to encourage that interaction at an early stage, students entering prior to Fall 2006 are required to take at least three semester hours in an off-campus experience. The requirement may be completed through internships, study abroad, and specially defined independent work conducted off campus. Students interested in internships should contact the Career Development Office.
J. Physical Education
Beginning with the Fall 2002 semester all students must complete PE 135 (Wellness) and one activity (either one varsity sport, one dance class or one PE class.)
K. Connections (FYE 134)
Connections is a required first semester course that continues the orientation process, helping students draw connections between what goes on inside the classroom and the experience a student has in life outside the class. Repetition is necessary in spring semester if not completed successfully.
Goucher College reserves the right to change or cancel without notice programs of study, requirements, course offerings, policies, regulations, procedures, calendar, financial aid, fees, or other matters. Revisions and additions to the class schedule are published at the beginning of each semester and are updated in a timely manner. Failure to read this booklet does not constitute a reason for noncompliance with the stated college policy. It is the responsibility of the student to keep apprised of all changes.
