Goucher College PBPM: Profile

Current Class

There are 32 students in the Class of 2015-2016, represented by 21 different undergraduate majors, with the most popular being psychology, followed by political science and economics.  Other majors include opera performance, geology, philosophy, cognitive science, theater arts, and criminology, among others. The average age is 26, and students have degrees from 27 different colleges.  Twelve post-bacs have graduate degrees, in fields ranging from urban pedagogy and polar studies to health metrics to tribal citizenship.  

As in previous years, many of our students have worked in public service, both in the U.S. and abroad, with organizations like Teach for America, Peace Corps, UNICEF, USAID, the U.S. military, and Human Rights Watch.  A number are certified EMTs. The class continues the trend of a large percentage having had experience living and working abroad after college, with more than half spending substantial time in 20 different countries ranging from China, India, Uganda, Costa Rica, Thailand, Malawi, and others.

Closer to home, we have an army cryptologist, a flight nurse, a doula, a Montessori teacher, an analyst for Credit Suisse, and a number with experience in health policy and consulting.
