College-matching platform College Raptor has recognized Goucher as a regional gem college for the northeast.
Regional gems are defined as high-caliber colleges and universities which receive less than 5,000 applicants a year but have a total enrollment more than 1,000. Goucher was one of 44 institutions recognized across the country.
Gems for each region were determined by analyzing colleges based on their enrollment and application data. Each institution also received an “Overall Ranking” of quality based on academic and outcome data, including graduation rate, selectivity, student-to-faculty ratio, and other factors.
The announcement is meant to call attention to institutions that stand out in terms of academic rigor and student success.
