Safety & Security

Goucher College is committed to providing safe study abroad programs for our students. Increased concerns about safety and security have prompted the Office of International Studies (OIS) to create this website, which includes our Emergency Preparedness Plan and important announcements, as well as resources for students and parents.  Please feel free to contact our office if you have any questions.

We offer confidential advising for students who have questions and concerns about safety abroad, and encourage students to visit the following web sites to learn more about personal identity while abroad:
