About this School
Goucher College is a co-educational liberal arts college located in the northern Baltimore suburb of Towson, on a 287 acre (1.2 km2) campus. The school has approximately 1,350 students studying in 33 undergraduate subjects and about 1000 students studying in graduate subjects. It was one of the first colleges to embrace internships and allow its students to take a more individualized approach. In 2004, Newsweek called Goucher the college with the happiest students. Recently, Goucher College instituted a unique study abroad policy--each undergraduate must complete at least one study abroad experience, which is the first such program in U.S. college history. To help students fulfill this requirement, the college offers a wide range of three-week "intensive courses abroad" as well as semester and year-long programs, in concert with $1200 vouchers to subsidize the cost of studying abroad.
 
History
Founded in 1885 as The Women's College of Baltimore, the school was renamed in 1910 in honor of its founding members and benefactors, John Goucher and Mary Fisher Goucher. The original campus was in the southern part of what is now the Charles Village neighborhood in Baltimore City. Goucher moved to its present suburban location in 1953. The college has been co-educational since 1986.
