Goucher College

• Goucher College is a selective, private, all gender, liberal arts college dedicated to providing a multidisciplinary, international education, and it is the first college in the nation to make study abroad an undergraduate degree requirement.
• Located in the college town of Towson, Maryland, Goucher is just 10 miles north of downtown, guaranteeing our students plenty of opportunities for fun outside the classroom. Despite its urban environment, Goucher is a green oasis, surrounded by 287 wooded acres, streams, and walking trails.
• 87% of students live on campus, which boasts clubs like Beekeeping and Ultimate Frisbee, exhibits that celebrate art and history, and events like Humans vs. Zombies, which was founded at Goucher.

• Community Matters
  Goucher created new first-year housing, called the First-Year Village (FYV), in 2018. The spaces are designed for interaction, with prominent communal areas for students to come together to cook, share, and learn with sunlit lounges, soundproof study rooms, and a full kitchen on each floor. The three buildings encircle a tree-lined quad, whose amphitheater seating, firepit, and hammocks, provide plenty of opportunities to be outside with friends. Workout classes, such as kickboxing, Zumba, barre, and many others, take place in the FYV and the adjacent Decker Sports Center. There are so many ways to find community at Goucher, be that through our League of Legends team or the Goucher Adventure Club, which organizes hiking, camping, and climbing trips.
• The Goucher Commons Curriculum
  Goucher expects all students to pursue a common set of learning experiences while giving them the freedom to determine and follow their own interests. In this pursuit, students enter a space of inquiry and problem solving with their peers, whose varied experiences and perspectives help to create unique solutions. Ultimately, students will gain an integrative learning experience and develop proficiency in areas that will make them ready for the jobs of the future.
• The Goucher Video App
  At Goucher, we understand that the traditional admissions process—while great for many students—does not showcase everyone’s true talents and abilities. We believe access to higher education should be about potential, not just previous achievement. Yes, we still accept the Common Application. But we created the Goucher Video App to provide another opportunity for students to show us what makes them unique, why they would flourish at Goucher, and how they will fit into our community of learners.
• 100% Study Abroad
  At Goucher College, we believe that no matter who you are or what you want to do in life, the global community of the 21st century demands that you have an international perspective. That’s why, in the fall of 2006, we became the first liberal arts college in the nation to require all of our undergraduates to study abroad at least once before graduation.

• 87% of full-time faculty hold the most advanced degree in their field; there are no teaching assistants.
• Students can choose a traditional major, or they can shape their education by combining different fields of study into a double major or interdisciplinary major.
• The Baltimore Collegetown Network allows for cross-course registration to local institutions, and the Collegetown Shuttle is a free and easy way to see the city.
• Internship and community-based learning programs augment the curriculum.
