Not happy with the majors Goucher provides? You can create your own! With an individualized interdisciplinary major, you select courses from three or more departments that are relevant to your interest. For example, if you want to major in social justice, you may select courses in the peace studies, political science, and sociology departments to compliment this discipline.
If you elect to audit a course, you are not required to complete the outside coursework, and you do not receive a grade. You simply attend and participate in the class, minus the stress!
Students can take undergraduate courses outside of their major as long as they meet the course’s prerequisites or receive permission from the professor.
If Goucher does not offer a specific course you desire, you may take the course at another local college without paying additional tuition. Participating colleges include Baltimore Hebrew University, Coppin State College, Johns Hopkins University, Loyola College, Maryland Institution College of Art, Morgan State University, College of Notre Dame of Maryland, Peabody Institute, Towson University, University of Baltimore, University of Maryland Baltimore County, and Villa Julie College. However, this option is only available once a semester, after your first semester of freshman year, and before your final semester.
