Welcome to the Goucher Community!

This offer of admission reflects on your student's outstanding talent and ability, as well as your support and encouragement.

The right college education can make all the difference. Goucher College offers a lot of value:

  • The Global Advantage They Need. Between climate change, economic inequality, racial injustice, and other global crises, the critical issues facing society transcend geography and nationalities. Students will be prepared to successfully navigate a global economy and help tackle humanity's most pressing issues. They will thrive working across borders, cultures, and values.

  • A Tight-knit Community. Even with students from all over the country and globe, we are a small, welcoming campus. Form shared meals in the Mary Fisher Dining Hall to hitting the books in our open and accessible library to the First-Year Village with prominent communal areas for students to cook, share, and learn, students experience community daily. 

  • National Reputation. Named one of the most innovative and one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Goucher is also one of 40 select Colleges That Change Lives and listed as a top institution by the Princeton Review.

  • Hands-on Learning. Students are able to put their education into action through collaborative research, internship and summer study opportunities, social justice programs in the local community, and campus leadership activities.
