Study Abroad

Goucher College, a private liberal arts college located in Baltimore, Maryland was the first college in the nation to require all undergraduate students to study abroad at least once before graduation.

We recognize that knowledge and skills are best achieved by expanding a student's sense of community.  For that reason, Goucher College’s mission statement has committed to international study for every student enrolled beginning with the class of 2010.

Each student enrolled full-time in a degree-seeking program is offered a one-time voucher of $1,200, or $3,000, for students participating in the International Scholars Program to help defray travel expenses.  Students may use the voucher to study abroad through an approved program, either sponsored or not sponsored by Goucher College, during the fall, spring, winter or summer terms.

In an effort to address some of the questions that the Office of Student Financial Aid commonly receives, we have prepared a set of questions and answers (FAQs) for more financing options.  We hope that reviewing the Study Abroad FAQ’s will help families better understand the study abroad process as it relates to student financial aid.
