One hundred twenty (120) credit hours are required for the degree. A student must achieve a of minimum 2.00 cumulative grade point average and a minimum grade of C- in each course that is counted toward fulfilling the requirements of the major. Credit hours at Goucher are defined on a semester basis, as distinct from a trimester or quarter basis. Candidates for the degree must complete a minimum of 60 credit hours at Goucher College.
Ordinarily, the last 24 credit hours should be completed at Goucher. Exceptions to the latter rule may be granted for approved summer and study-abroad programs or other programs with the approval of the major department and the associate dean for undergraduate studies. Approved non-Goucher credits taken within the last 24 credit hours shall ordinarily be completed within two semesters following the petition date. Contact the Registrar’s Office for approval of specific non-Goucher courses.
Students entering Goucher prior to Fall 2006 and transfer students admitted either fall or spring semester with at least 27 credits will be required to meet the general education requirements in effect during the 2005-06 academic year. Reinstated students should consult the information on page 16. All incoming first-year students and all students who transfer in less than 27 credits beginning Fall 2006 will be subject to the new general education requirements listed below.
One course may satisfy no more than two of these requirements.

Courses that may fulfill a general education requirement pending the topic given in a semester are: FR 272G (#9), FR 330 (#8), FR 333 (#11), LAM 272Y (#10), RUS 272G (#9), and THE 272Y (#9). If the topic allows the course to fulfill the requirement, it will be posted in the Registration Guidebook for that semester.
Physical Education Requirements
Goucher students, including those who transfer to the college, are required to complete a physical education activity course by the end of the junior year. Students who successfully complete a season on a varsity team, a dance performance through the Dance Department, some (but not all) dance courses, or a riding course may use that experience to satisfy the activity component. Goucher does not recognize audits or unsupervised activity as a substitute for course work in physical education.
Students with physical education or health science transfer credits on an official transcript from another college may be able to satisfy all or part of Goucher's physical education requirement. These students should submit course syllabus, catalogue description, or certification document for consideration. Students with a gap of five years or more in their continuous education, or those over the age of 25, are exempt from the physical education requirements but are encouraged to enroll in or audit any physical education course.
College Writing Proficiency
All students are expected to achieve writing proficiency, which is evaluated twice during their college career. College writing proficiency (CWP) is taught and assessed through the Writing Program. The achievement of CWP signifies that students have learned to write clear and coherent academic prose and complete library research. Students achieve writing proficiency in the major through courses designated by individual departments. These courses insure that students have mastered the particular genres, analytical methods, and styles of their majors.
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 CWP. Most first-year students should take ENG 104 to prepare for college-level writing. Some advanced first-year students will be placed in ENG 105 during the fall semester. Transfer students who write a strong placement essay may be asked to submit a portfolio or take a WAC course.
First-year students who do not earn CWP credit in ENG 105 must take either ENG 106 or a WAC course in their next semester. Though students who earn a B- or better in ENG 105 are likely to be writing well enough to achieve CWP, the grade itself is not sufficient evidence that the student writes proficiently. CWP is determined only by the writer's consistent ability to meet the criteria, and may be awarded to students who score somewhat less than a B in the course, or may be withheld from students who score a B- or better (though the latter case is rare).
Some ENG 104 students may be awarded CWP at the end of ENG 104. To qualify, students should consistently meet the CWP criteria and achieve an A or A- in the course. They should also demonstrate research-writing abilities equivalent to those required of ENG 105 students. Students may ask their ENG 104 instructors to consider submitting a portfolio of papers to the Writing Program at the end of the semester. Only papers submitted by instructors will be evaluated for CWP. All ENG 104 students should register for ENG 105 in case their portfolios do not earn exemption.
Students placed in ENG 103 should take this course in the fall of their first year. Most of these students will take ENG 104 in the spring. However, students with at least an A- average in ENG 103 may, upon the recommendation of their instructor, submit a portfolio to the director of the Writing Program. The director will then decide if the student should be exempted from ENG 104. Students exempted from ENG 104 should take ENG 105 in the spring.
Students who do not earn CWP credit in ENG 105 must take either ENG 106 (Academic Writing III) or a WAC course in their next semester or submit a writing portfolio in each semester until CWP is achieved. Students who earn below a C- average on papers written for ENG 105 should take ENG 106, but students who are nearly proficient may take a WAC course. Courses offered as part of the WAC program are described in the Registration Guidebook published by Student Administrative Services.
As of September 2009, seniors may no longer submit portfolios to demonstrate CWP after they have begun classes with senior standing. Students who will begin taking their senior year classes in Fall Semester must submit portfolios by the previous August 1, and students who will begin taking their senior year classes in Spring Semester must submit their portfolios by the previous December 15. Otherwise, these students must register for English 106 or, if appropriate, for a WAC course whose instructor explicitly agrees in writing to evaluate their work for CWP. Failure to deal with this fundamental general education requirement will prevent students from graduating.
Foreign Language Proficiency
Competence in a language other than one’s own is an integral part of a liberal arts education. Language training has broad cultural implications and develops skills necessary for 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. Students taking a 130-level language course pass/no pass who achieve class scores lower than 70 percent must take the course again. Native speakers and exceptionally well-prepared students in the languages offered at Goucher College may be exempted from the foreign language requirement on recommendation of the Modern Languages and Literatures Department, or through a written or oral placement test (required of all entering students).
Students intending to complete the language proficiency out of residence must get prior approval from the Modern Languages and Literatures Department and complete a minimum of 12 credits (or the last intermediate course offered at that institution). A minimum grade of C is required. If a student intends to fulfill any portion of the foreign language requirement abroad, written approval by both the Modern Languages and Literatures Department and the Office of International Studies is required prior to departure. Students may be required to demonstrate proficiency upon return to campus. Students participating in summer and winter intensive language programs other than those run by Goucher faculty will also need prior approval if they are seeking Goucher credit. Less commonly taught languages not offered at Goucher College will be accepted provided that students fulfill the same requirements as those for languages offered at Goucher. Students must notify the chair of the Modern Languages and Literature Department of their intentions to fulfill their language requirement at another institution, and complete a form specifically designed for this purpose (available online). Results of placement tests taken at institutions in the area must be sent to the chair of the Modern Languages and Literatures Department.
The Department of Modern Languages will evaluate transfer credits of language courses taken at another institution on an individual basis. Ordinarily, a student who has submitted transfer credits at the beginner and/or intermediate level with a grade of C or above and is placed in the first semester of a language no transfer credit will be given; if placed in the second semester of a language up to four transfer credits could be given; if placed in the third semester of a language, up to eight transfer credits could be given. For students who place out of Goucher College’s intermediate level, up to 12 transfer credits could be given and the language general education requirement will be fulfilled.
In order to ensure timely completion of the college foreign language requirement, students need to begin to study a language during their first year. Transfer students who enter as sophomores or higher should begin to study a foreign language immediately. For all students, unless there are extenuating circumstances, the final course to satisfy the college foreign language requirement should be attempted in the fall semester of the senior year.
Study Abroad
Transfer Students and the study abroad requirement
All transfer students who have completed study abroad in college-level academic work for which at least three credits are accepted by Goucher will have satisfied the study abroad liberal education requirement upon enrollment.
Because the requirement will have been completed before actual enrollment at Goucher, no travel voucher will be issued to these students before, during, or after their travel experience. Moreover, because they will already have completed their study abroad requirement, they will not be issued a travel voucher for any subsequent study abroad they undertake before graduation, whether through Goucher or through some other institution.
As with all college level work completed elsewhere, final approval of credits for study abroad work completed before enrollment at Goucher must be confirmed by the registrar after a review of a final, official transcript of that work. The registrar will also confirm at that time whether the work approved for credit at Goucher satisfies any academic requirements, including the study abroad requirement.
All students are expected to make a good faith effort to complete the study abroad requirement. Students who cannot complete the study aborad requirement may petition the associate dean for international studies for an exemption. Students who are granted an exemption from the international study requirement will be required to substitute an off-campus experience to satisfy this requirement.
The following are also required for graduation:
Frontiers
The Frontiers First Year Colloquium introduces students to the pleasures and demands of the liberal arts and sciences and initiates them into the rich academic life of the Goucher College community. Each Frontiers seminar examines a particular topic in depth and from multiple points of view. Students develop critical reading, writing and thinking skills and explore different perspectives through which to examine assumptions. Class discussions are enriched by community and creative projects, guest speakers, field trips, and hands-on investigations. Taught by expert faculty from across the disciplines and organized around the common theme of Frontiers, Goucher's first year seminars foster independent thought, student responsibility, intellectual curiosity, collaborative inquiry, and the joy of active learning. Goucher II students who enter as first-year students are required to enroll in Frontiers. ISP 110 and 110Y taken in the fall semester fulfill the Frontiers requirement. All incoming first-year students are required to pass Frontiers, ISP 110 or ISP 110Y to be eligible for graduation. Individual course listings are available through the First Year Portal and on the Goucher College website.
Connections (FYE 134)
Connections is a required first-semester course that continues the orientation process and helps students as they draw connections between what goes on inside the classroom and experiences in life outside of class. First-year students are introduced to people and resources throughout the Goucher community that can be used as navigational tools as they get acquainted with the college. They also begin to form a learning community in which participants come to know one another, develop a sense of respect for different viewpoints, and learn the value of individual responsibility and accountability. All incoming first year students must pass this course to be eligible for graduation with the exception of Goucher ll students who are exempt from this requirement. Goucher ll students are exempt from connections (FYE134) for graduation.
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. The Goucher College Class Schedule Booklet is not to be regarded as a contract.
