Goucher College is an independent, selective, coeducational institution dedicated to the interdisciplinary traditions of the liberal arts and a broad international perspective on education.

          The first college in the nation to pair required study abroad with a special travel stipend of $1,200 for every undergraduate, Goucher believes in complementing its strong majors and rigorous curriculum with abundant opportunities for hands-on experience in the world. 

          Through internships, community service, and study abroad -- and a first-rate arts and sciences academic program -- Goucher teaches its students to engage the world as true global citizens.

          The courses in arts administration may also be taken independently of the concentration.  Arts administration is a rapidly expanding profession in performance and institutional arts organizations, including museums and galleries; in community or regional centers for the arts; in government, corporate, and foundation agencies that are concerned with the development of the arts. 

          Students who pursue a concentration in arts administration take a major in one of the arts and supplement that major with three courses in arts administration and four in economics and management.  The courses in the major provide a solid foundation in an art form.  The additional courses enhance knowledge appropriate to the student's interest in arts administration.  Students major in art, dance, music, or theatre, completing a minimum of 27 credits that are chosen in consultation with the department and that cover both historical/theoretical and studio work.
