Join others who are curious about Goddard's low-residency BA, BFA, MA and MFA degree programs.
Goddard College provides a way to finish your undergraduate or graduate degree and live your life at the same time; whether you prefer to study psychology, work to promote the environment, or become a better writer, Goddard can become part of your journey.
At this event, you will have an opportunity to learn about Goddard College, hear from individual faculty members, students and alumni about their studies or their own art practice, writings, research or travels, and then participate in break-out sessions by Program. But don't worry: if you're interested in more than one program, you can move between groups!
