Goucher has incorporated off-campus experiences into its curriculum since the early 20th century. One of the missions of the Career Development Office, which was set up in 1921 at the urging of the social science faculty, was to arrange such experiences. Academic credit for internships has been awarded since the 1970's. Over 70 percent of all Goucher students do internships.
Some students complete more than one internship.
Students who meet academic prerequisites seek placements throughout the year. They meet with faculty and Career Development Office personnel to discuss their options and responsibilities. Faculty grade the internship. Three or four credits are awarded for each internship. Although one internship credit is worth a minimum of thirty hours of work , most students exceed the required number of hours and work twelve to fifteen hours per week during a semester or twenty to forty hours per week during the summer months.
