I received far more than an advanced degree from Goucher. I got an army, a cohort of colleagues, and a chorus of mentors whose voices still guide me 12 years later. I had the ongoing resources, support, and tools that I needed. I had a secret weapon: an M.A. in Arts Administration from Goucher.

How do your low-residency programs work?

Students and faculty gather on campus or at designated locations for a residency in the summer, and both fall and spring semesters involve focused, small classes via distance learning. The low-residency is designed so that students attend classes and participate in on-campus events for 7 to 9 days each July for almost all programs.

Where can I stay during the residency?

Students have the option of staying on-campus in one of the residential halls for an affordable on-campus lodging fee, or off-campus in a nearby hotel or Airbnb. Students who reside in the area can also commute to and from campus. Meals are provided in the dining hall. The campus also offers a variety of amenities including a gym, swimming pool, and hiking trail. The campus is also an easy walk to restaurants, shops, grocery stores, and movie theaters.

How long will it take to get my degree?

Most students will get their degree in 2-3 years while also working full time.

Who are the faculty and how large are the individual classes?

The maximum number of students in a class is 12, but most have 6-8 students. This provides a favorable student-to-faculty ratio, ensuring that each student receives personalized attention from their instructor. The faculty are well-respected experts and practitioners in their field and bring a wealth of real-world experience to the program. As active professionals, they can provide current and practical knowledge to their students. The small class sizes and online hybrid option allow for a close and supportive learning environment.

How much does the program cost and is there any financial aid?

Please see our Tuition & Financial Aid page . Goucher students are eligible to apply for federal student loans, outside grants, and scholarships.

What qualifications do I need for a master’s degree program and how do I apply?

Admission to individual programs may vary. Generally, admission is granted to applicants whose academic and professional qualifications give promise of success in self-directed graduate study. The applicant must hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university. Students who are citizens of or in residence in other countries must have the ability to function successfully in English. For complete information on the application procedure, please visit our application page .

Do I need to take the GRE to apply?

None of our programs require the GRE.

Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts Degree

One hundred twenty (120) credit hours are required for the degree. A student must achieve a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA and a minimum grade of C- in each course that is counted toward fulfilling the requirements of the major. Credit hours at Goucher are defined on a semester basis, as distinct from a trimester or quarter basis. Candidates for the degree must complete a minimum of 60 credit hours at Goucher College.

Residency Requirement

Twelve of the last 24 credit hours must be completed at Goucher unless granted an exception with the approval from the department chair of the major and the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Studies. Exceptions may be granted for approved summer courses and study-abroad programs or other programs. These approved non-Goucher credits shall ordinarily be completed within two semesters following the petition date to avoid withdrawal from the College. Credits taken out of residency, should follow the Transfer Credit Policy at https://www.goucher.edu/policies/documents/Transfer-of-Credit-Policy.pdf.  Contact the Registrar’s Office for approval of specific non-Goucher courses.

——————————————————————————————————————————————–

Goucher Commons Requirements (GCR)

Like other colleges and universities, Goucher expects all of its students to pursue a common set of learning experiences. These experiences are not based on a core curriculum or checklist of requirements, and students have great freedom to determine and then follow their own interests. In this pursuit, students enter into a space of inquiry - the Goucher Commons - with other students and the faculty.

All GCR’s are satisfied with a grade of “D-” or “P” (or better). Students should be aware that for the foreign language and culture sequence a grade of “C-” or better must be received in the 110- and 120-levels in order to advance to the next course level (120, 130, 132, or 133). A grade of “D-” or “P” (or better) in the terminal course in the foreign language and culture sequence satisfies the Foreign Language and Culture GCR.

1. First Year Seminar    

2. Complex Problem Exploration Courses    

3. Proficiency Areas:

  • College Writing 
  • Data Analytics    
  • Foreign Language and Culture    

4. Common Inquiry Areas:

  • Race, Power, and Perspective    
  • Environmental Sustainability    
  • Study Abroad    

5. Capstone Experience/Signature Project    

Study Abroad

Students may study abroad on Goucher ICAs (intensive courses abroad), or non-Goucher short-term programs at any time during their undergraduate experience, provided that they obtain approval from their advisors and the Office of Global Education. Students pursuing semester or year-long study abroad programs must have spent at least three semesters in residence at an accredited college or university. All coursework abroad must be taken for a letter grade. Pass/No Pass coursework abroad, while potentially allowed by certain study abroad programs, is not allowed by Goucher College. Students may fulfill the study abroad requirement by pursuing an international internship for at least four credits. Students choosing to fulfill the requirement with an internship must work with the CEO, their advisors, and the Office of Global Education. All semester students enroll in the 1-credit Study Abroad Immersion Course (IDS 201) while abroad. The Immersion course is a required complement to the Study Abroad GCR and students must pass IDS 201 (or have the Immersion component embedded in a study abroad course) in order to complete the Study Abroad GCR.   The Policy for Study Abroad Substitution Request is available at:  https://www.goucher.edu/policies/documents/Study-Abroad-Substitution-Request-Policy.pdf .

Generally, students can carry their institutional financial aid abroad on Goucher semester programs. 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.

Financial Aid for International Study

Federal financial aid does not apply to summer or January term study abroad programs.

Scholarships for International Study

Scholarships for study abroad are available through the Office of International Studies. These include:

The Constance R. Caplan ‘57 Scholarship Fund

The Michele and Marty Cohen P ‘10 Scholarship Fund

The Rosa and Herman Cohen Scholarship

The Suzanne Fineman Cohen ‘56 International Scholars Fund

The Klara Farkas P ‘66 and Georgette Farkas Balance ‘66 Scholarship Fund

The Josephine Levy Kohn ‘36 Scholarship Fund

The Hajime Mitarai Memorial Fund

The Leslie Savage Nelson Mahoney 1912 Scholarship

The Katherine Manning-Munce 1919 Scholarship Fund

The Phyllis Koller Schreter ‘43 Fund for Study Abroad

The Selz Foundation Scholarship Fund

The Louise Scholl Tuttle ‘36 Scholarship Fund for Foreign Language Study

The Ungar Family Endowed Study-Abroad Fund

The Carol Fain Walters ‘57 Scholarship

The David and Marilyn Southard Warshawsky ‘68 Scholarship

The Margaret Messler Winslow ‘69 Fund for International Education

Scholarships for summer international internships are available from the Career Education Office (CEO).

Study-Abroad Deposits

Students participating in Intensive Courses Abroad must pay a non-refundable $500 program deposit to confirm participation if accepted. Specific program deadlines are set each semester by the Office of Global Education. 

If for any reason, a student withdraws from a Goucher semester or short-term program after the deposit deadline (or, the deadline of our partner institutions), the student will not be entitled to a refund of any fees paid to Goucher, including program deposit, tuition fees, travel fees, program fees, or any other fees incurred in connection with the program. If, due to any unforeseen circumstances or other circumstances beyond the control of the College, a semester or short-term Goucher program is cancelled, either prior to departure or during the course of the program, the student will not be guaranteed a refund of any fees paid to Goucher, including program deposit, tuition fees, travel fees, program fees, or any other fees incurred in connection with the program. In most cases, the College forwards program fees to vendors in foreign countries, making it very difficult to recover such fees due to a program cancellation. In such cases, the College will make a good-faith effort to recover such fees and to return any portion of fees that it may recover that may be attributable to a student’s participation in the program. However, the College makes no guarantees regarding the recovery of fees and is not liable for any fees that it is unable to recover.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Other Bachelor of Arts Degree Requirements

  • At least 3 credits in each of the following areas as designated by the Registrar: Arts   , Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies   , Social and Behavioral Sciences   , and Biological and Physical Sciences   . These disciplinary requirements can be fulfilled by courses in a major or minor, courses that fulfill other Goucher Commons requirements, and/or additional designated courses throughout the curriculum.

First Year Experience, FYE 134, a required course for all new first-year students (not required for transfer students), continues the orientation process and connects learning that occurs for students both inside and outside of the classroom.  Students discuss the concept of being active participants in the Goucher community and explore its implications for emotional, intellectual, social, and physical well-being. Throughout the course students will be exposed to a variety of perspectives to develop a sense of respect for differing viewpoints, to learn the value of individual responsibility, and to understand the importance of personal accountability. Students will have the opportunity to build community, develop relationships with peers, and discover their sense of place at Goucher.  Successful completion of the course is a graduation requirement for all students except Goucher II students, who are exempt from this requirement.

—————————————————————————————————————————————–

Completion of a major is a requirement for the degree. Students are required to declare a major in the second semester of the sophomore year and may choose a major earlier if they are certain of their academic focus. The major enables students to study one or more disciplines in depth. No course may be counted toward requirements for the major unless a grade of C- or higher is earned. Courses elected with a pass/no pass option will not count toward requirements for the major unless such courses are graded on a pass/no pass option only.

Students must complete a writing requirement in the major and fulfill the requirements for the major, minor, or concentration that are in effect at the time they declare.

A student’s major may be designated in any of the following patterns:

PROGRAM MAJOR

The student follows a program with at least 36 credit hours of which at least 15 credit hours must be at the 300- or 400-level.

DOUBLE MAJOR

The student fulfills all the requirements for the major in two programs. 

Students may select a program minor or interdisciplinary minor in addition to the major. The program minor shall require at least 20 credits of which as least 4 credits are at the 300- or 400-level. Programs are encouraged to list a core for the minor; at least 50 percent of the courses should be core. No course may be counted toward the requirements for a minor unless a grade of C- or higher is earned. Courses elected with a pass/no pass option will not count toward requirements for the minor unless such courses are graded on a pass/no pass option only. Students must complete the requirements for the minor that are in effect at the time when they declare.

The Concentration

Students may select a program or interdisciplinary concentration in addition to the major and must meet all the criteria for the concentration. Concentrations are not available in all programs or disciplines. As with the major and minor, no course may be counted toward the requirements for a concentration unless a grade of C- or higher is earned. Courses elected with a pass/no pass option will not count toward requirements for the concentration unless such courses are graded on a pass/no pass option only.

Other Academic Opportunities

Independent work.

With the permission of the instructor and the department chair, a degree candidate may pursue independent study beginning with the second semester of the first year. Ordinarily, a student may not register for more than two independent studies per semester. No more than 16 credits of independent study may be applied toward the 120 credits required for graduation. Also, the Senior Thesis is considered as independent work and therefore is counted as part of the 16-credit maximum applied to the 120 credits required for graduation. The independent work form is the same as the course change (add/drop) form.

The Senior Thesis

The senior thesis is the product of scholarly or scientific research or artistic work of high academic quality. The character of the work leading to the senior thesis is expected to be more advanced than normal course work and should involve an unusually high level of initiative, independence, organization, and effort. It is used by many programs as one criterion for selecting students who are awarded honors in the major. The thesis is also part of the scholarly record of the College. Senior thesis work carries eight credits and involves two sequential courses of four semester credit hours each, directed by a faculty advisor selected by the student. The advisor and the thesis subject are in the student’s major field. Students must present a proposal for a senior thesis during their junior year. They will qualify to register for senior thesis work after completion of a minimum of 87 semester hours of college credit. Students must have a minimum GPA of 3.50 in the major field(s) and 3.25 overall. They should also be making normal progress toward completion of all requirements in the major(s). When a student is double majoring and both programs require a thesis for honors, it is up to each program whether one thesis will be allowed to count toward both honors. Also, the Senior Thesis is considered as independent work and therefore is counted as part of the 16-credit maximum applied to the 120 credits required for graduation.

Academic Internships

Earning Credit

Earning credit for internships is an important and valuable learning opportunity for all students and is required for some majors. Each department has established internship courses with distinct prerequisites and academic requirements. All internships must adhere to the policies outlined by the College.

Internship Policies

The following policies have been established to clarify how students are awarded credit and to address issues relating to registration for internship credit. These guidelines have been developed to provide a framework for the internship process and to clearly delineate the roles and expectations for all involved in the internship program:

1.   Students must work 45 hours at the internship for every one academic credit.

2.   Students may earn a total of eight (8) internship credits toward graduation. Students participating in more than eight internship credits will not be able to apply additional credits towards graduation.

3.   Credit can be awarded only when the internship experience coincides with the semester that the student registers for such credit.

4.   Students may complete only one (1) internship per semester (up to four credits), including summer.

5.   Students may complete more than one internship at a site, but the responsibilities and academic work involved in the internship must be different in order for additional credit to be earned.

6.   Students may take an academic internship course for zero-credits.

7.   Students must complete a reflection document about their internship experience at the end of each semester and return it to the CEO by the deadline.

8.   A student’s internship site supervisor and faculty internship sponsor must be different people.

9.   The faculty internship sponsor must be from the academic department in which the internship credit will be awarded.

Internship courses will be available for variable credit, with 45 hours required for every one credit. Programs can elect to offer courses between 0-4. Please see the descriptions in the academic catalogue to determine prerequisites, requirements, and credit options for each course.

Students can register for an internship course for zero-credits, which will be recorded on the academic transcript. Please note that a zero-credits internship course does not satisfy any major/minor or study abroad requirements.

Students must take an active role in arranging their internship and are encouraged to utilize the resources provided by the CEO.  The CEO supports students by helping them locate opportunities, research organizations, develop their resume and cover letters, prepare for interviews, and negotiate offers with employers.

Goucher Prison Education Partnership (GPEP) and Writing Workshops at the Baltimore County Detention Center 

The Goucher Prison Education Partnership (GPEP) is an extension of Goucher College. Our primary goal is to offer an excellent college education to men and women incarcerated in Maryland. We operate on-site higher education programs in two state prisons, offering courses from the Goucher College catalog for students to pursue a BA from Goucher with a major in American Studies. We also offer a suite of college preparatory courses to prepare students for the rigorous college courses for which Goucher is known. While we are a division of Goucher College, all courses at the prisons are funded 75% by individual donations and private grants and 25% by federal Pell grants. We rely heavily on volunteers from the campus and the surrounding community. This funding model and volunteer support allow GPEP to offer a full scholarship to all Goucher students enrolled on the campuses in the prisons.

Courses are taught by Goucher faculty and faculty from surrounding colleges. Goucher faculty and upperclassmen serve as tutors for the Goucher students incarcerated at the prisons. Students from the main campus also engage with GPEP as research assistants (serving as a bridge between the academic library on the main campus and the students at the prison), administrative assistants (assisting with programmatic projects and clerical work), as supplemental instructors, or as academic hotline monitors.

To learn more about GPEP, including hearing from current students and alumni, and more information about how to get involved, visit our website (hyperlink to www.goucher.edu/gpep ) and follow us on Instagram and Facebook @GPEP.Goucher

Graduate Credits

Accelerated Bachelor of Arts/Masters Degree Programs

Goucher’s Graduate and Professional Studies offers accelerated degree programs (sometimes referred to as 4+1) in which students can earn both a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Master’s degree in roughly five years in Cultural Sustainability, Education, and Environmental Sustainability & Management.

Through these programs, students who have at least a 3.0 grade point average and who have attained junior status may take up to 15 graduate credits while they are still undergraduate students. These 15 graduate credits apply to the 120 credits required for the Bachelor’s degree, as well as to the credits required for the Master’s degree. The accelerated programs typically require two to three summers of coursework. Information on the programs is available at the relevant program website at:  http://www.goucher.edu/graduate-programs

Besides the accelerated programs offered through Goucher’s Graduate and Professional Studies, students have access to accelerated programs through partnerships with other colleges and universities.  Information on these programs and their admission requirements are available at:https://www.goucher.edu/learn/academic-partnerships/.

Baltimore Student Exchange Program/Interinstitutional Programs

The Baltimore Student Exchange (BSEP) Program allows qualified students at Goucher to take undergraduate courses offered at other participating colleges in the area. The student’s credits and grades from the host institution are automatically transferred to Goucher at the end of the term during which the course was taken. For more information visit: https://www.goucher.edu/registrar/baltimore-student-exchange-program

Transfer Work after Students have begun at Goucher

Students who wish to obtain credit for work taken at another institution after they have started at Goucher must have their course elections approved by their advisors and the College Registrar, acting on behalf of the Provost. They must fill out a Transfer Course Approval form prior to taking a course elsewhere. The form can be found at this link:  https://www.goucher.edu/registrar/documents/Transfer-Course-Approval-Form.pdf . If the course requested is from a program other than that of the advisor, and the course is not similar in context to a listed Goucher course the approval of that program is required. Only courses with grades of C- or higher will be accepted. Transfer courses do not affect student’s GPA.

Advanced Placement (AP) Credits

Goucher College recognizes AP exam score results of 4-5. Official AP scores must be sent directly from the College Board to Goucher (code 5257) before credit may be applied toward a program of study. The chart below indicates the various courses and associated scores required to receive credit at Goucher, as well as any courses and Goucher Commons requirements satisfied by the AP coursework. For additional information on Goucher’s curriculum, please review the section on Goucher Commons Requirements.

Pre-college Coursework and Examinations

Official copies of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, French Baccalaureate, German Arbitur, or the General Certificate of Education A-level test scores may be submitted to Goucher for first-time post-secondary credit and/or placement consideration. Evaluation and awarding of credit will be completed by the College Registrar and the appropriate academic faculty.

International Baccalaureate (IB)

Goucher College may award credit and/or placement for higher level (HL) IB exams with grades of 5-7, and in some cases, standard level (SL) IB exams with grades of 5-7. See the following link for individual IB course credit equivalencies: IB Course Equivalency Credit  

French Baccalaureate

If a student has earned the French Baccalaureate, one year of credit (30 semester hours) will be recognized provided no grade is below 10 and all subjects are appropriate to Goucher’s curriculum. For each subject with a grade below 10 or for each subject not appropriate to Goucher’s curriculum, six semester hours of credit will be deducted. If a student failed the French Baccalaureate or completed course work through the First or Premiere level, six semester hours of credit will be recognized provided a grade of 10 or better has been achieved on the French examination.

German Abitur

Students with the German Abitur may be awarded credit for examination scores of 10 or higher (15-point scale). Evaluation of actual credit will be determined by the College Registrar and the appropriate academic department.

General Certificate of Education A-Level

Individual courses will be reviewed by the College Registrar and appropriate academic representatives for possible transfer credit.

Air Force ROTC

Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) is available to Goucher students through a (cross-town agreement) agreement with the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP). AFROTC courses are scheduled so students from Goucher may complete all AFROTC requirements during one morning (Thursday) per week at the College Park campus. In addition, students are eligible to compete for all AFROTC scholarship programs. The three-year and two-year scholarships pay tuition, books, and a monthly stipend while in school. Students must maintain a 2.0 GPA to participate in the program and a 2.5 GPA if on ROTC scholarship. You must have at least 5 semesters of college remaining and must be under age 31 when you commission. After graduation and successful completion of AFROTC requirements, students are commissioned as second lieutenants in the Air Force. Students interested in AFROTC should visit the detachment website: ( http://www.afrotc.umd.edu/ ), call at 301-314-3242, or visit in person at:

AFROTC Detachment 330 University of Maryland Cole Field House 2126 Campus Drive College Park, MD 20742-4321

Goucher accepts Army ROTC Scholarships as part of the college’s association with the Army ROTC program at Loyola College. Interested students should contact the Loyola College ROTC program at  https://www.loyola.edu/academics/rotc .

3+2 Dual Degree in Engineering with Columbia University

Goucher College has established a dual-degree program (typically called a “3+2” program) in partnership with Columbia University in the City of New York. The dual-degree program enables students to explore the liberal arts and sciences, while developing professional knowledge and experience in a specific field of engineering. Students in the program are admitted initially by Goucher College, where they will typically spend three years fulfilling liberal education requirements and completing major requirements for the B.A. degree.  Although in principle students can pursue any major at Goucher, the required prerequisite courses in math, programming, and sciences are mostly included in Goucher’s Engineering Science major, making it an effective choice.

Successful students who have met the necessary requirements will then apply to complete an additional two years at the partner institution to complete a B.S. degree in engineering.  At the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science of Columbia University, students can earn degrees in Applied Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Earth and Environmental Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Management Systems, Industrial Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Materials Science and Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.  

Below is a brief explanation of each engineering field.

  • Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics focus on applications derived from fundamental physical and mathematical principles. Examples include nanoscale engineering, optical devices, and space science.
  • Electrical and Computer Engineering include the fields of communications, control systems, electronics, and digital systems.
  • Chemical Engineering relies upon the laws of chemistry, physics, and mathematics to change the structure of chemical substances and purify new substances that are created in the process.
  • Biomedical Engineering is dedicated to solving problems and generating products through molecular scale biochemical and biological transformations, leading to the design of novel biological products and processes for medicine.
  • Civil Engineering reflects the breadth of the engineering disciplines in the planning and designing of buildings, bridges, transportation systems, and environmental programs.
  • Environmental Engineering deals with the amelioration of environmental problems.
  • Materials Science and Engineering is concerned with the structure, properties, performance, processing, and production of all materials, including biomaterials.
  • Mechanical Engineering deals with the manipulation of energy through useful mechanical devices, including biomechanical devices.

Both the B.A. degree from Goucher College and the B.S. degree from Columbia are awarded at the conclusion of the fifth year, provided all requirements for each degree have been fulfilled. It is also possible to participate in the dual-degree program on a 4+2 basis, i.e., to transfer to Columbia after 4 years at Goucher. Interested students should contact the Engineering Science program chair, Dr. Rodney Yoder. 

For purposes such as payment of tuition, student governance, financial aid, and housing, participants in the 3+2 program are considered Goucher students during their first three years, and Columbia students during the last two.

Coursework and Requirements

During the three years at Goucher, student must take all required science and mathematics foundational courses (listed below) as well as specific pre-engineering courses for the engineering major of interest (listed below).  Students then apply for transfer to Columbia during the junior year; admission is likely (though not guaranteed) if a student successfully meets all of the following requirements:

  • Full-time enrollment at Goucher College for at least past two years.
  • Minimum overall GPA of 3.30, inclusive of all coursework taken for credit.
  • Minimum pre-engineering GPA of 3.30, inclusive of all science and mathematics prerequisite coursework.  Additionally, a minimum grade of B (3.0) must be obtained on the first attempt in all science and mathematics prerequisite coursework.
  • Successful completion of major-specific prerequisite coursework by the end of the spring semester of application
  • Successful completion of the degree and major requirements (with the exception of the 120-credit total) at Goucher College by the end of the spring semester of application.
  • Favorable recommendation letters: one each from the 3+2 Dual Degree coordinator at Goucher College, a science instructor and a math instructor.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in English.

Required prerequisite courses must be taken in person, not online, except during the 2020-21 academic year.

Academic Procedures

Commencement.

Commencement exercises are held once a year in May. In order to participate, a student must have completed 120 credits, all academic requirements, including GCRs and major requirements, and have settled all college accounts and all student disciplinary matters. A student who is in good academic standing (cumulative GPA of at least 2.0) and is within four credits of completing graduation requirements may participate in commencement exercises only if documentation demonstrates that the remaining credits will be completed by the August degree date of that year. Petitions for exceptions are only accepted from students who have been enrolled in the spring for all remaining courses needed for participation in commencement exercises, and for whom unforeseen and unpreventable forces at the end of the semester are the cause of the failure to complete those courses. Permission for students finishing in the summer to participate in the May Commencement must be granted by the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Studies in consultation with faculty advisors. Students must submit a petition, with documentation, to the Associate Provost at least three weeks prior to Commencement:  https://ranger.goucher.edu/gcswa/stugradpetition.aspx .

The College reserves the right to not permit the release of a cap and gown to any student who has not been cleared for graduation. Students completing graduation requirements in the summer will be awarded their degree in late August, and students completing requirements in the Fall will be awarded their degree in December.

Academic Responsibilities

In fulfilling their academic responsibilities, students are granted a degree of autonomy commensurate with their obligations to Goucher’s social and academic communities. Students’ academic obligations and responsibilities include regular class attendance and systematic preparation in all phases of their work.

Any student who must be absent from class for a disproportionate amount of time due to a personal reason (illness, injury, life-threatening illness or death in the immediate family, etc.) may be advised to withdraw from class and the College. Please refer to Goucher´s leave of absence and withdrawal policies ( https://www.goucher.edu/registrar/leave-of-absence-withdrawal-from-the-college/ ), particularly the Medical/Compassionate Leave Policy , for the procedure to follow in these cases.  The Office of the Registrar receives and processes requests for withdrawal and leave under these policies. A student seeking to withdraw from the College for medical reasons must submit a written Semester Withdrawal Form and Health Care Provider Release Form to the Office of Student Support and Outreach or the Office of the Dean of Students. In some cases, students may also be involuntarily withdrawn from the College if necessary. See  Involuntary Medical Withdrawals .

If a student is involved in a conduct case, the student should refer to the Sudent Code of Conduct ( https://www.goucher.edu/registrar/leave-of-absence-withdrawal-from-the-college/college-initiated-administrative-withdrawal ) which permits the President, the Provost, or the Dean of Students to require the student to leave the campus pending the outcome of the proceeding, or (if no proceeding is pending or anticipated) during such period as the President, Provost, or Dean of Students may determine.  A student who is required to leave campus should contact the Associate Director of Student Accountability and Education.

Academic Honor Code

The cornerstone of Goucher’s academic community is the Academic Honor Code. Adopted in the first decade of the 20th century, the code emphasizes the importance of personal honor and moral integrity that reflect the honor and integrity of the Goucher community. As the primary authority to regulate student conduct in matters pertaining to the Academic Honor Code, the Student Government Association provides for the Academic Honor Board. See full policy for the Academic Honor Code at  https://www.goucher.edu/learn/provost/academic-honor-code  and the Student Code of Conduct at https://www.goucher.edu/policies/student-code-of-conduct/ .  They can also be found in the Campus Handbook. The Associate Provost for Undergraduate Studies may be consulted for information about the Academic Honor Board process.

Academic Progress Toward a Degree

(*Note this may be different than the Financial Aid Regulations regarding academic progress.)

Students are expected to continue to make satisfactory academic progress towards a degree each term. Full-time students are expected to achieve this through the cumulative GPA requirements and Successful Credit Load. Both are described below.

GPA Standards:

At the end of each semester, the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Studies reviews the records of all students. The table above sets the minimum GPA standards set by the Academic Policies Committee. Credits attempted include all transfer credits accepted by Goucher. GPAs listed in the table are based on Goucher work only.

*For first-semester first-year students only, the GPA to remain in good standing is 1.8.

As part of the continuing guidance offered to each Goucher student, the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Studies, in consultation with APC, reviews and acts on the record of any student who does not meet the standards outlined above or who meets the standards but whose work shows a marked negative trend. This includes, but is not limited to, students earning one or more “F/FW” grades, one or more “NP” grades, or any combination of two or more “D”, “I”, or “W” grades in a single semester.  The review includes an assessment of each student’s academic achievement and an evaluation of extenuating circumstances and of the student’s potential for substantial academic improvement. This review determines the student’s academic standing.

The Associate Provost for Undergraduate Studies may place a student on academic warning, probation, or suspension, or may dismiss the student from the College. The College reserves the right to suspend or dismiss students who do not pass any courses in their first semester.

A student who is placed on academic probation may not hold any elected or appointed office in any college organization, participate in any varsity sport (with the exception of supervised on-campus training and practice sessions), or register for more than 16 credit hours in a semester.  All students placed on academic probation are required to enroll in a 2-credit Learn-to-Learn course the following semester. In this course, students learn essential skills for success in college and apply what they learn to other classes.  Students do not incur additional cost for this course.  This course allows students to attain good academic standing sooner, as it is credit-bearing.  Probationary students who meet the requirements and make progress towards the goals return to good academic standing. Students who still fall below the requirements for good academic standing are placed on probation for one additional semester.  Students who fail to regain good academic standing after two consecutive probationary semesters may face suspension.

A student who has been suspended may apply for reinstatement following the completion of a minimum 12 credit hours, excluding summer and winter school, at an accredited academic institution with no grade lower than a C-, or one year of successful work experience with a letter from the employer stating the dates of employment. A student who has been dismissed may not return to the College.

If a student holds an office in Student Government or is a varsity athlete or believes they should not be placed on probation or suspended, the student may write an appeal to the chair of APC and must present an academic plan of success for the remaining semesters at Goucher.  Strong letters will focus on the aspects of the situation that were within the student’s control and identify concrete and specific steps they will take to ensure satisfactory academic performance in future semesters.  In the case of suspended students, the letter should also indicate what the student has done during their time away from school to prepare for a successful re-enrollment.  The decision of the committee will be final.  If it is agreed that the plan is feasible, the student will be required to adhere to the plan for all remaining semesters.

Students are cautioned that they should be averaging 15 credits a semester if they plan on reaching the 120-credit minimum required for the BA degree in 4 years (i.e. 8 semesters x 15 credits = 120 credits).

Successful Credit Load Standards

Once a student has completed two full terms at Goucher College their academic record will be reviewed with emphasis toward successful completion. The table below sets the minimum standards set by the Academic Policies Committee. Credits attempted include all transfer credits accepted by Goucher.

After 2 terms a full-time student must have successfully completed 24 credits at Goucher.

After 4 terms a full-time student must have successfully completed 54 credits at Goucher.

After 6 terms a full-time student must have successfully completed 87 credits at Goucher.

Note that attempted credits are not credits successfully completed. All courses that have NP, W or F/FW are considered as attempted credits.

Calculation of the GPA 

Only courses completed at Goucher, through the interinstitutional (BSEP) cross-registration program, or through a Goucher sponsored program, are included in the GPA calculation. Each semester, the credit hour value of each course attempted for a grade is multiplied by the numerical value of the earned grade to determine the quality points earned. The total number of quality points earned in these courses is divided by the total number of graded credit hours attempted resulting in the GPA for the semester.

The cumulative GPA is the cumulative total of the quality points earned in all courses divided by the total number of graded credit hours attempted. The semester GPAs are not averaged together to create the cumulative average. The numerical value of grades is as follows: A=4.0, A-=3.67, B+=3.33 B=3.0, B-=2.67, C+=2.33, C=2.0, C-=1.67, D+=1.33, D=1.0, D-=0.67, F/FW=0.0

The following is an example of how to calculate a GPA:

Course Load

A full-time student may take between 12.0 and 18.0 credit hours in any semester.  However, students should average 15.0 credits per semester, in order to reach the 120.0 credits required for graduation within eight semesters. Students who elect fewer than 12.0 credit hours in a semester are considered to be part-time unless granted reduced course load status pursuant to Goucher’s Reduced Course Load Policy:  https://www.goucher.edu/policies/reduced-course-load-policy .

  • Students who, due to extraordinary circumstances, are in need of a heavier course load than the aforementioned academic credit limit policy may petition the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Studies:  https://ranger.goucher.edu/gcswa/StuCreditOverReq.aspx .
  • Students taking more than 18.0 credits per semester will be charged the part-time tuition rate for additional credits.
  • Goucher credits taken over the summer or winter terms will not count toward the semester credit limits. Students will be charged summer or winter term rates for credits taken during these terms.
  • Withdrawn courses count towards course load and tuition charges.

A full-time student may audit one or more courses a semester without additional charge. Election of the audit option must be done at the point of registration for the course or within the add/drop deadline for adding a course. Permission to audit must be obtained in writing from the instructor of each course. Successful completion of audits will result in an AU on the transcript. There will be no notation on the transcript in the case of unsuccessful completion or withdrawal from an audited course. Students may withdraw from an audit through the last day of classes. College policy prohibits changing an audit to credit or vice versa after the add/drop deadline. No petitions will be granted. Faculty may request a student’s withdrawal from an audit if the audit requirements are not met.

Withdrawals from Courses

A student may drop a semester course without a withdrawal appearing on the transcript until the tenth day of class. If a student withdraws from a class after this time, the student will receive a grade of W. The last day to withdraw from a semester-long or 7-week course with a W is the last day of class. 

Withdrawn courses count towards course load and tuition charges. A W will have no effect on a student’s grade point average nor on the student’s credit completion rate.

Students should consult the Important Dates for Students calendar for exact dates.

Add/Drop Deadlines for Courses

Students may add or drop any full semester course using the online registration system (“myGoucher”) during the open add/drop period, which ends on the fifth business day of the semester. Between the fifth and tenth business days of the semester, students may add or drop courses by submitting a course change form to the Office of the Registrar, but may add a course only with the permission of the instructor.  (Permission to add a course during this period is granted at the instructor’s discretion and is not automatic, as joining a class late can put a student at a significant disadvantage.) To add a course, the form must be approved by both the instructor and the student’s advisor; to drop a course, only the advisor’s signature is needed . Students may not add a full semester course after the tenth business day. 

A student may withdraw from a full semester course after the tenth business day of the semester and before the course withdrawal deadline (week 10); in that case the student will receive a grade of “W” for the course. This action does not change the enrollment status of a student, that is, a full-time student continues to be full-time. 

A 7-week course may be added through the first 3 days of the 7-week term without instructor permission. On days 4 and 5 of the 7-week term the instructor must give permission for the student to add the course. To add a course after day 5 of the 7-week term the student will need to petition for a late add, with the approval of the instructor, to the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Studies. A student may drop a 7-week course through the end of the 5th day of the 7-week term.

See the Important Dates for Students calendar for the actual dates in each term.

Pass/No Pass

Students may choose to take two courses per academic year on a pass/no pass basis. The pass/no pass option must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office by the last day of classes. Pass is equivalent to any grade from A through C- as normally interpreted at Goucher College. A grade of P or NP will have no effect on a student’s grade point average. Students who wish to switch from pass/no pass to graded status may do so up until the last day of class.  After that the choice is irrevocable.

BSEP courses and summer courses taken elsewhere are not ordinarily open to pass/no pass election. Center Directors may specify that an off-campus experience can be taken only on a pass/no pass basis; such a requirement is not part of the student’s pass/no pass quota.

Courses elected with a pass/no pass option will not count toward requirements in the major or minor (unless such courses are required to be so graded). If a major requirement is taken pass/no pass the department must require that the course be re-taken for a regular grade or identify an appropriate substitute.

Courses taken for a pass/no pass grade do not count as “graded credits” for Dean’s list purposes.

Determination of Rank

First-year, sophomore, junior, or senior rank is determined at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. Rank is based on credits achieved as follows:

Grading System

The grading system at Goucher is as follows: A, excellent; B, good; C, satisfactory; D, poor; F, failing; FW, failed and didn’t withdraw; P, pass; NP, no pass; I, incomplete; AU, audit. The letter grades may be modified by plus or minus as follows: A-, B+, B-, C+, C-, D+, and D-.

Grade Distribution

A         93%-100% A-        90%-92.99% B+       87%- 89.99% B         83% - 86.99% B-        80%-82.99% C+       77%- 79.99% C         73% - 76.99% C-        70%-72.99% D+       67%- 69.99% D         63% - 66.99% D-        60%-62.99% 

The incomplete is deleted from the student’s record when the grade for the course is submitted. PW and NW refer to college writing proficiency grades. PW refers to passing college writing proficiency, and NW refers to not passing college writing proficiency. W is defined under withdrawals. AU is defined under audits.

Students may choose to take two courses per academic year on a pass/no pass basis. In the regular semester, the pass/ no pass option must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar in Student Administrative Services by the end of the tenth week of classes; in half-semester courses, by the end of the third week. Pass is equivalent to any grade from A through C- as normally interpreted at Goucher College. Students who wish to switch from pass/no pass to graded status may do so up until week 10 of the semester (week three of seven-week courses). After that the choice is  irrevocable .

Courses elected with a pass/no pass option will not count toward requirements for the major or minor unless such courses are graded on a pass/no pass option only. A grade of P or NP will have no effect on a student’s grade point average.

Interinstitutional/BSEP courses and summer courses taken elsewhere are not ordinarily open to pass/no pass election. Department chairs may specify that an off-campus experience can be taken only on a pass/no pass basis; such a requirement is not part of the student’s pass/no pass quota. Courses elected with a pass/no pass option will not count toward requirements in the major or minor (unless such courses are required to be so graded). If a major requirement is taken pass/no pass, the department must require that the course be re-taken for a regular grade or identify an appropriate substitute.

The deadline for any grade changes is 12 months past the semester in which the grade was originally received.

Grade Appeal

The purpose of the Grade Appeal Policy is to establish a consistent procedure by which students may seek review of final grades assigned in undergraduate courses at Goucher College. Grades other than final course grades may not be appealed. The policy recognizes the right and responsibility of faculty members to exercise their professional judgment in evaluating academic performance and the right of students to have their academic performance judged in a fair and impartial manner.

Grounds for Appeal

A student may appeal a final course grade only on the grounds that

  • the grade was assigned based on a miscalculation or clerical error;
  • the grading standards for the course were not clearly articulated by the instructor, or the grade was assigned in a manner inconsistent with articulated standards;
  • the grade was assigned on some basis other than performance in the course; or
  • the grade was assigned in a manner other than that used for other students in the course. At all levels of review, the burden of demonstrating that a grade should be changed rests with the students.

The deadline for any grade changes is 12 months past the semester in which the grade was originally received.  See full policy at  https://www.goucher.edu/policies/documents/Grade-Appeal-Policy.pdf .

Incomplete Grade Procedures

A semester officially ends at the close of the examination period. No course work will be accepted by a faculty member after this time unless an incomplete grade request has been submitted by the student and approved by the instructor by the last day of class.

Incomplete grades at Goucher College are given only for reasons beyond the student’s control, namely medical reasons, or death in family. In all instances, the student must complete the process for an incomplete by 5:00pm on the last day of classes of the term in which the course was taught. Incomplete grades are intended to apply to cases where the student has completed at least three-quarters (75%) of the work of the session with a C- or above. The instructor has the right to deny an application for an incomplete grade.

Students applying for an incomplete after the deadline due to an emergency must submit a petition . The Associate Provost will determine, in conversation with the instructor of the class, the eligibility of the application. All requests will be reviewed but may not be granted.

Resolution of Incompletes

The resolution of an incomplete is the responsibility of the student and the instructor. The student should have all work completed as soon as possible but no later than four weeks from the last day of the final experience of the term in which the course was taught. The student should submit papers, projects, and examinations directly to the instructor. The instructor shall send a grade to the Registrar´s Office via email at the end of the fourth week following the final experience (see important dates for faculty ).

Repeated Courses

If a student repeats a course, all course iterations and grades will be listed on the transcript but only the credits from the most recent iteration and the highest grade will count towards the student’s GPA and total credits towards graduation. 

Academic departments decide if a student must repeat a course in the major if the grade was below C-, or if they will permit the student to substitute another course for the major. Any academic department may set a policy that majors may not retake more than two courses required for the major for which they received a less than satisfactory grade. 

This policy does not apply to withdrawals and does not include courses that may be repeated for credit as listed in this catalogue. 

Topics courses are an exception and are repeatable when offered for a different topic.

Goucher has an ongoing program of assessment to evaluate the effectiveness of the College and to ensure that it is meeting its goal of providing a high quality education. The assessment program includes opinion surveys, interviews, and testing. Students are expected to participate in assessment activities throughout their time at Goucher.

Final Experiences/Examinations

Final experiences/examinations are given at the end of each semester. An unexcused absence from a final experience/examination is counted as a failure on the experience/examination. The semester officially ends at the close of the final experience/examination period. No course work is accepted after this time unless an incomplete grade has been authorized. Students are responsible for submitting examinations and other assigned work to the instructor when they are due.

Course Reflections

A comprehensive system of student reflections on course construction, student engagement, faculty instruction and support, and student learning is considered vital to the academic community. At the end of each course, students are expected to complete and return course reflections distributed by the Committee on Reappointment, Promotion, and Tenure.

Academic Support

Academic advising.

Curricular guidance in a student’s first and second years is offered by a success advisor who works with the student to develop an academic plan of study. When students declare majors/minors, they choose faculty advisors in their major/minor programs. The Associate Provost for Undergraduate Studies coordinates the advising process. All the information pertaining to the fulfillment of requirements for graduation is found in this catalogue. Ultimately, it is the students’ responsibility to monitor their progress toward the fulfillment of degree requirements. Students can track completion of their Goucher Commons Requirements (GCRs) by viewing their DegreeWorks report in their MyGoucher account.

Academic Center for Excellence

The Academic Center for Excellence (ACE) is the academic and advising support center that embraces the strengths of a liberal arts education’s holistic nature.  ACE assists students in maximizing their potential to flourish and succeed at Goucher and beyond.  It guides students in preparing for a life of inquiry, creativity, social responsibility, and personal and professional ethics and integrity.  ACE includes Academic Success Coaching, the Office of Accessibility Services, and Success Advising.  

Career Education Office

The Career Education Office (CEO) helps students discover and pursue careers that combine their interests, skills, and values.  The CEO offer programs and services to help students at all stages of the career planning process and encourages students to visit the office early and often during their time at Goucher. The CEO assists students with major and career exploration, student employment, internships, full-time employment, and graduate and professional school preparation.  Students can connect with the CEO through individual appointments, drop-in advising, or email ( [email protected].)  Additional information about the CEO services can be found online at www.goucher.edu/ceo .

Honors and Awards

Dean’s list.

At the end of each semester, students who have demonstrated an exceptional level of academic achievement for that semester are named to the Dean’s List. The minimum grade point average for Dean’s List is as follows:

First-year: 3.80 Sophomores: 3.85 Juniors: 3.90 Seniors: 3.95

Full-time students must complete at least 12 graded credits in the fall or spring semester to be eligible. Part-time students are eligible for Dean’s list when they complete a total of at least 12 graded credits in the fall and spring of an academic year. Courses taken for a P/NP grade do not count as “graded credits” for Dean’s List purposes.

The Dean’s List is created one-to-two months after the end of the final-exam grading period for the fall and spring semesters. This timing allows for grade reporting, grade changes, the clearing of incomplete grades, and other end-of-semester actions.

The associate provost for undergraduate studies cannot calculate the term GPA of students with missing grades or grades in progress. It is a student’s responsibility to follow up with the associate provost for undergraduate studies at  [email protected]  if a faculty member has requested a change of grade on their behalf which has made them eligible to be on the Dean’s List after it has been posted.

Honors at Graduation

A student may graduate having achieved one or more of two distinctions.

Honors in the Major

Honors in the major is designed to give recognition to outstanding work in the major. This designation is awarded on the recommendation of the faculty who have taught and supervised a student’s work in the major at the upper level. Requirements for honors in the major are determined by each program.

Latin Honors & Cords

Students who have taken at least 60 semester credit hours on a letter-grade basis at Goucher or as part of a Goucher sponsored study-abroad program may be awarded their degrees

  • summa cum laude with a grade point average of 3.9,
  • magna cum laude with a grade point average of 3.7 to 3.89, or
  • cum laude with a grade point average of 3.5 to 3.69.

Grade point averages are not rounded off for Latin honors. Transfer students may not be able to take courses pass/no pass and still qualify for Latin honors unless they take a minimum of 60 graded credits in residence excluding pass/no pass.

At Goucher no cords are given to graduating students for work that is either paid, graded or credit-bearing.  Cords are only given in a few programs linked to Academic Honor Societies and specific awards: Computer Science, History, Hispanic and Latinx, Psychology, Sociology, and Visual and Material Culture.  Graduating seniors are given cords or stoles in some Affinity Graduation Ceremonies.

Phi Beta Kappa

Goucher College, formerly the Woman’s College of Baltimore, was granted a charter by the Phi Beta Kappa national honor society in 1904 as the Beta of Maryland Chapter.

Students are eligible for election on the basis of academic standing and rules of eligibility established by the Senate of the Chapter. These rules stipulate a minimum grade point average of 3.5; in addition, no more than 10 percent of the credit hours completed ordinarily may be graded pass/no pass (courses that may not be taken for a grade do not count in the 10 percent). All college-level work is considered, but work done at Goucher is weighted more heavily. Achievements of these standards do not guarantee membership. Students must also demonstrate academic integrity, commitment to intellectual pursuits, and breadth within their academic program. The latter ordinarily requires a student to complete courses in each of the five divisions beyond those taken to satisfy the general education requirements.

Annual Prizes and Awards

Fellowships.

Special fellowships are available to graduating seniors of Goucher College for full-time graduate work. Applications for fellowships should be made at  https://www.goucher.edu/career-education-office/graduate-school/fellowship-application  and should be returned to the Associate Provost no later than the beginning of March. Students should consult with the associate provost for exact dates.

The state of free speech on Texas campuses amid pro-Palestinian protests

Dozens of ut students protesting the war in gaza were arrested this week, raising questions about first amendment rights on college campuses..

A woman is arrested at a pro-Palestinan protest at the University of Texas, Wednesday, April...

By Marcela Rodrigues and Aarón Torres

7:00 AM on Apr 27, 2024 CDT — Updated at 12:44 PM on Apr 27, 2024 CDT

Free speech advocates contend colleges should be bastions of the free exchange of ideas. Texas campuses have been the stage of historical protests — from the civil rights movement to the Vietnam War.

But this week, when demonstrators took over the University of Texas’ south mall to protest the war in Gaza and the system’s investment in companies that supply weapons to Israel, state troopers began arresting them.

Gov. Greg Abbott ordered the troopers to campus in a stark contrast to his statement in 2019 when he signed a bill protecting First Amendment rights at Texas schools.

At the time, Abbott said, “Some colleges are banning free speech on college campuses. Well, no more.”

Now he is urging schools to punish those whose views he believes are antisemitic.

As Wednesday’s demonstration went on, Abbott posted on social media that the protesters “belong in jail.”

Related: Why are Texas college students protesting?

More than 50 pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested at UT on Wednesday as state troopers and police intervened. The following day the campus faced a 10 p.m. curfew. That’s prompting some people — from politicians to advocates to First Amendment experts — to question the state’s policies on free speech and students’ rights.

From coast to coast, pro-Palestinian protests have taken place on college campuses recently. Demonstrators are asking for a ceasefire in Gaza. They’re also asking universities to divest from companies that make weapons used in the war . Many demonstrations included clashes between protesters and law enforcement, leading to arrests.

The protests gained momentum after over 100 students at Columbia University were arrested and charged with trespassing after many set up tents and spent the night on the campus lawn.

Texas leaders didn’t want to risk the same happening here.

“The University’s decision to not allow yesterday’s event to go as planned was made because we had credible indications that the event’s organizers, whether national or local, were trying to follow the pattern we see elsewhere, using the apparatus of free speech and expression to severely disrupt a campus for a long period,” UT President Jay Hartzell in a statement to the school community.

UT officials noted that since October, the university has had 13 pro-Palestinian events on campus, about half of which were protests. They said that the events happened largely without incident.

Abbott’s office did not respond to an email seeking comment.

But students have the right to organize and express their ideas, said Roger Reeves, a UT associate professor of English.

“It was appalling, abysmal, repressive. It was awful,” said Reeves, who also holds two graduate degrees from the university. The “almost militaristic” presence was “absolutely unnecessary.”

Students at the demonstration said the events were peaceful until law enforcement officers entered the campus with riot gear, some on horseback and others carrying zip ties and pepper spray.

Abbott posted on social media that students “joining in hate-filled, antisemitic protests at any public college or university in Texas should be expelled” and “Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period.”

Experts say it’s not uncommon for divisive topics to face pushback on campuses.

In recent years, conservatives objected when their speakers faced protests and were shut out at schools. Texas’ campuses now face increased scrutiny from the state’s Republican lawmakers as the schools are accused of promoting “woke agendas.” A recent ban on diversity, equity and inclusion , or DEI, programs has left many students and faculty saying they feel that the Legislature is infringing on their freedom of speech.

Wednesday was a “dark day in the history of this university,” said Michael Sierra-Arévalo, a UT alum and assistant professor of sociology. “I love this place. This place changed my life. And what I saw yesterday made me very sad.”

A UT spokesman stressed in a text message to The Dallas Morning News that protesters were arrested “not because they were exercising free speech, but because they violated institutional rules that they were warned about. Of course we support free speech. But free speech does not give someone license to commit other violations.”

Most of those arrested at the public flagship campus were charged with criminal trespassing. However, Travis County prosecutors found “deficiencies” in charging documents and dropped all charges.

Hartzell noted in his Thursday statement that 26 of 55 protesters arrested were not affiliated with the university.

Friday afternoon UT officials shared protest rules, which included banning people previously arrested for trespassing from university activities that are not strictly academic, such as for classes or living on campus.

Any student who might face such restrictions won’t be notified until after finals and graduation, officials said.

Meanwhile, advocates stress that officials cannot throw people in jail simply because they disagree with the views expressed, said JT Morris, a senior attorney at FIRE — the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.

“People have strong views about the issue,” Morris said about the conflict in Gaza. “But it doesn’t mean that government officials can step in because they disagree with those views.”

Last month, Abbott issued an executive order he said was aimed at stopping antisemitism on college campuses in Texas.

He noted that recent protests over the Gaza conflict were antisemitic. He specifically singled out two pro-Palestinian student organizations, Students for Justice in Palestine and the Palestine Solidarity Committee. The latter organized the UT protest and was suspended by the university the following day.

These organizations have led campus protests nationwide since Oct. 7, when Hamas attacked Israel, killing some 1,200 people and taking around 240 people hostage, according to the Israeli government . In the months following, Israel started bombing the Gaza strip, killing over 34,000 people, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza . The Dallas Morning News cannot independently verify these numbers.

In his executive order, Abbott argued that the chant “from the river to sea, Palestine will be free” is antisemitic and should not be allowed on Texas campuses.

The chant refers to the Jordan river and the Mediterranean sea. Critics argue the chant calls for the elimination of the state of Israel, while those who use it say it is a reference to the location where Palestinians live and have lived in a call for their freedom.

Abbott stated in his order that students who violate it — including by using that chant, which was heard at the UT protest — should be punished in a variety of ways, including expulsion.

Campuses across the country often face protests when controversial speakers are invited. In recent years, often left-leaning students protested the presence of a right-leaning speaker , including some known for holding a white supremacist ideology .

A 2023 survey by The Associated Press points to the tension on campus. It found that Americans believe that people on the left enjoy more freedom of speech on college campuses than those on the right.

“Even very offensive and very hateful speech is protected by the First Amendment,” said Thomas Leatherbury, director of the First Amendment Clinic and professor of law at Southern Methodist University. “The only speech that’s not protected by the First Amendment is incitement to violence, true threats of violence or harm, and repeated, directed harassment.”

A state university can establish reasonable time, place and manner restrictions on protesters within limits, Leatherbury said.

“If a place has habitually been used as a place of gathering, a place of speaking, a place of protesting, then it’s a public forum and protesters should be able to use that to express any viewpoint that’s protected by the First Amendment,” he noted.

In 2019, Abbott boasted that he was furthering free speech when he signed a bill to protect First Amendment rights on Texas campuses.

“Some colleges are banning free speech on college campuses,” Abbott said in the video posted on social media on June 9, 2019. “Well, no more.”

After UT protesters were arrested on Wednesday, many recirculated that video and blasted Abbott over signing the law yet also calling for students to be expelled and protesters to be jailed.

U.S. Rep. Greg Casar, D-Austin, responded to the video with a post on social media saying “‘Free speech for me but not for thee.’”

The 2019 law regards common outdoor areas on campuses — such as the south mall where the bulk of UT’s activity was on Wednesday — as places of expressive activity and allows anyone to engage in protests, speeches and assemblies as long as they are not disruptive.

State Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston, authored the bill. A spokesperson for Huffman did not respond to a text message seeking comment.

The legislation came as a result of what many lawmakers viewed as the silencing of conservative voices on college campuses. During floor debates at the time, Huffman made it clear that speech has limits, such as words meant to incite immediate violence.

“Just because speech is offensive does not mean that it is not protected,” she said then. “So it would have to be determined that it was meant to incite immediate violence.”

Five Republican lawmakers sponsored the measure in the House, including Charlie Geren and Craig Goldman of Fort Worth, Tom Oliverson of Cypress, Briscoe Cain of Deer Park, and Dade Phelan of Beaumont. Phelan was not the House Speaker in 2019.

Geren, Goldman, Cain and Oliverson did not respond to calls or text messages seeking comment. Spokespeople for Phelan did not respond to an email seeking comment.

Oliverson wrote on social media Thursday that he supports UT professors being fired after some faculty protested the arrests and released a statement urging more demonstrations.

Whether a speech is considered incitement of violence is often subjective, experts say.

As schools prepare for the end of the semester and commencement ceremonies, security concerns continue to arise as officials consider potential interruptions.

In text messages between Hartzell and state Sen. Sarah Eckhardt obtained by The News , the Austin Democrat and UT alum noted that she was reaching out to others to explore ways to de-escalate tensions on campus and to establish a “safe space” so future conversations don’t spill out to “unsafe spaces.”

Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering ranks highly in the U.S. News & World Report Graduate Rankings for 2024

The college was ranked 31st in the nation, and rose in its aerospace, biological, systems, and computer engineering programs, while holding steady in civil and environmental engineering.

Several of the graduate programs in Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering have earned coveted spots in the top 20 of the latest U.S. News & World Report rankings . Notably, the computer engineering program rose eight spots, from No. 23 to No. 15. The university’s goal to seek solutions to the world’s most complex problems through research and innovation is demonstrated throughout the college’s 13 departments and schools thanks to the top-notch faculty and graduate student research at its Blacksburg campus and its growing presence in the D.C. area.  

The 2024 programs ranked in the top 10 include:  

Environmental Engineering No. 5  

Graduate Systems Engineering program No. 5 (up from No. 6)

Civil Engineering No. 9  

Biological/Agricultural program No. 10 (up from No. 12)

Other programs that fared well include graduate aerospace/astronautical/aeronautical up from No. 14 to No. 11. Mechanical, electrical, and nuclear engineering programs also all cracked the top 20.

“The College of Engineering has been a key player in many of these top-ranked program areas for several years. Thanks to the expertise of our faculty and researchers, we are continuing to find innovative solutions through deep, diverse partnerships here at Virginia Tech, in industry, and around the world,” said Pam VandeVord , Associate Dean for Research and Innovation.

In 2023, 57 faculty from the College of Engineering won 75 awards, with 14 of those awards being categorized as “prestigious” or “highly prestigious” by the National Research Council. In addition, the college makes up more than 40 percent of the university’s total research expenditures and is continuing to diversify revenue streams with more National Institute of Health proposals, transdisciplinary projects, and center-level initiatives. 

“It is our mission to advance the boundaries of engineering knowledge and practice through transdisciplinary research,” said Julie Ross , the Paul and Dorothea Torgersen Dean of Engineering. “The caliber of our world class education is truly reflected in our students, faculty, and alumni, who are sought globally for their excellence. We invest in the resources that prepare our graduates to solve today’s most complex social and technological challenges in and beyond their communities.”

The Innovation Campus , opening in 2025, will expand upon opportunities to prepare computer engineers and computer scientists to lead the frontier of wireless technologies, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and more, while being immersed in one of the most connected tech communities in the country. Its two Master of Engineering programs in  computer science  and  computer engineering  are both industry-connected degrees that will provide students with a deep technical base while expanding their professional skills and preparing them to assume leadership roles. Students will gain expertise in areas such as machine learning, secure information systems and networks, and quantum computing.

The success of the college’s graduate programs depends on numerous forms of support for students, postdoctoral researchers, and new and seasoned faculty. Through scholarships that decrease barriers not only for students, but junior faculty, the college is able to develop, attract, and retain top talent. In 2023 alone, the college received eight National Science Foundation CAREER awards, the most prestigious given by the foundation to junior faculty who exemplify leadership as teacher-scholars in research and education. It also had four Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers, which validates excellence in research, reputation, and collaboration, and acts as a beacon for academic institutions and commercial organizations. These are among a plethora of accolades that make the college’s graduate engineering programs a destination for top talent in 2024.

VandeVord added, “Moving forward, we will continue to push the envelope in spaces such as civil and environmental engineering, computer engineering, systems engineering, aerospace engineering and agricultural engineering, where we have demonstrated longstanding success. In addition, we are making headway in new areas like health care research, wireless, artificial intelligence, and additive manufacturing, among others, to distinguish ourselves in these growing fields that live within our biomedical, mechanical and electrical engineering programs.”
