Here’s How it Works
Step 1: Start your online application. We’ll send you a temporary pin so you can create your personal password after initial log in.
Step 2: Select your intended year, program, and degree to start your application.
Step 3: Submit your materials through the website. Input information for your letter(s) of recommendation to be either through mail or electronically through your college. Request your official transcripts be sent directly from your institution to Goucher either via mail or electronically to graduateadmissions@goucher.edu.
Note: Transcripts are only official when they are received directly from your institution. Transcripts sent directly from applicants will not be used for application review.
What Happens Next?
After you submit your application and we receive all your materials, your application will be submitted for review. You'll receive email confirmations when materials are received along with receiving a status update confirmation email once your admission status has been decided.
You can check your application status along the way and all updates will be posted there.
Our admissions team will then follow up with you shortly!
