We believe in the power of global education. We are 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.
This is why we offer study abroad programs that are easy and affordable, and why 100% of Goucher students graduate with international experience that employers are looking for in our global economy.
Goucher’s study abroad programs for college students show our dedication to global education, and it has paid off. U.S. News & World Report has consistently named us one of the top five colleges in America for study abroad.
A Goucher College education gives students the advantage they need to navigate a global economy and make an impact in the world today. Study abroad is your chance to make a valuable connection between the classroom and real-world experience. Our international programs make it possible to study across borders, cultures, and values, and you will explore different approaches of thinking, communicating, working, learning, and living.
Our flexible study abroad programs are designed to complement your Goucher College education. No matter your major, interests, or schedule, we have a program for you. Opportunities include:
In total, there are more than 100 partner colleges and universities in over 50 countries worldwide to choose from. Study abroad programs vary in length to fit each student’s schedule and interest, with yearlong options, semester programs, and three-week intensive courses abroad.
Studying abroad can significantly influence your post-graduation opportunities. Students return with international experience and a global perspective that will benefit any career path and appeal to a range of employers. A study abroad program prepares you for confronting global challenges in the jobs of today and tomorrow. In addition to career opportunities, you can explore other international opportunities, including joining the Peace Corps program, completing a graduate school degree in another country, or becoming a Fulbright finalist.
The Fulbright program is the flagship international student program sponsored by the U.S. State Department. The program recognizes scholars for their academic, professional, and leadership success and includes a group of more than 2,000 Americans studying, conducting research, and teaching abroad. Since 2017, Goucher has produced 10 Fulbright finalists.
Since its founding, Goucher College has been a believer in the importance of a global education. That’s why we were among the first colleges in America to implement 100% study abroad, ensuring every Goucher student has the opportunity to gain valuable global experiences during their time here.
Goucher has an expert team of staff and faculty dedicated to supporting students and parents in what to expect from the moment they start planning.
