Study Abroad
The college sponsors summer, winter, and semester study abroad programs. Students interested in studying abroad should contact the Office of International Studies (OIS) for further information. Students receiving any financial aid should consult the Office of Student Financial Aid before planning to participate in a study abroad program. Goucher institutional aid, including Goucher grants and scholarships, as well as any state aid, do transfer to any Goucher semester study abroad program, up to the cost of Goucher tuition for the first semester abroad experience. Participants are billed Goucher charges for their study abroad program, not the fees indicated in program literature or websites.
Students are considered in-residence while enrolled in a Goucher program. Credits and grades earned abroad on Goucher semester programs, Goucher ICAs and Goucher summer programs will be counted towards a student’s credit accumulation and calculation of grade point average. Semester courses must be taken for a letter grade with the exception of some designated language courses that may be taken pass/no pass. Consult OIS for these designated courses.
Generally, students will be allowed to transport their Goucher institutional aid for only one semester, except for reciprocal exchange programs, the Costa Rica Monteverde Institute program, or the Goucher Oxford University yearlong program. There is a petition process for students who want to carry their institutional aid for a second semester abroad on a Goucher semester program. Students should contact the Chair of the Department of Modern Languages for more information. Students cannot carry their institutional financial aid on any non-Goucher semester-abroad programs, but can carry any federal aid such as Pell Grants or Stafford Loans.

Approved Non-Goucher Semester Programs
By offering close to 50 Goucher semester study-abroad programs in 30 countries each year, Goucher College strives to meet the varied academic interests of our students. However, if a student believes that no Goucher semester program meets their academic needs, s/he may petition the associate dean of international studies for approval. To obtain approval, the proposed program of study should form an integral part of the student’s overall academic plan. Goucher institutional aid, including Goucher grants and scholarships, as well as any state aid, do not transfer to non-Goucher semester-abroad programs. Students may work with the financial aid office to transfer any federal aid, such as Pell Grants or Stafford Loans, for which they qualify to these programs. However, this may affect their overall financial aid assessment upon return to the college. Verification of program length is required since semester programs shorter than 15 weeks in length could result in a proration of any applicable financial aid funds. Students will be considered enrolled at Goucher while attending approved non-Goucher semester programs. Study abroad vouchers may be applied towards approved non-Goucher programs.
Coursework taken on any approved non-Goucher semester program must be taken for a letter grade. Grades below C- are not acceptable for transfer credit. Students with senior status applying to study on an approved non-Goucher program must comply with policies pertaining to the college’s residency requirement. An official transcript from a regionally-accredited college or university, or an international institution recognized by the ministry of education in that country, must be submitted for coursework to transfer into Goucher College. The study abroad voucher applies to Goucher and approved non-Goucher programs and will not be awarded to students who complete the study abroad requirement before coming to Goucher or who participate in programs that are not approved in advance by the associate dean of international studies.
Goucher Intensive Courses Abroad (ICAs)
These courses are all led by Goucher faculty members. Course descriptions are available under the appropriate academic department. Although most ICAs are offered every other year, these programs are subject to change without notice.
