Choose a Well-Established Department for your Major
Many of the departments at Goucher are new, "developing," or just plain inadequate. I switched majors twice because I was unhappy with the departments I joined. The Environmental Science/Studies department underwent a significant change in professors just as I joined. The program is changing significantly each semester, so if you plan on declaring as an Enviro major be aware that you are a guinea pig, so to speak. The Computer Music department is altogether dysfunctional. The head of the department is a big name in the industry, but he treats his job at Goucher like a hobby because he is also the head of a much more successful and important music program at another institution. Don't join the computer music department at Goucher if you want to learn studio production techniques, sound engineering, or any important studio skills.
