Intensive Courses Abroad
Goucher students have unique opportunities to study abroad on Intensive Courses Abroad
(ICAs) led by Goucher faculty. Many of these intensive living-learning experiences
are preceded by a weekly precourse, allowing students and faculty to engage in in-depth
study of the topic and region. Three-week ICAs are offered during the January break
or summer (usually May–June), and usually run in alternate years. All ICAs fulfill
Goucher's study abroad requirement.
