Goddard College

A vaulted white tower to avoid unless you're looking for zero structure, little support and to make up your degree as you go. I can't speak to other detractors feedback about the practical uselessness of their degrees. I can speak to how this literal lofty ideal will fail you unless you have lots of self-discipline, time and energy.

History, culture, acceptance, a great place to learn and grow!

There is no place like Goddard. It's a college where you can major in whatever you want. Literally. You can get graduate degrees in whatever you want. You direct your course of study. You take responsibility for your education and shape it how you want. Goddard is deeply committed to social justice and environmental advocacy, and the people here are quirky, unusual, passionate, and kind. The staff are outstanding. The faculty are amazing. As far as a distance programme goes, Goddard's model is excellent, and students produce some truly remarkable work. If traditional education hasn't worked for you, if you're disabled or you have interests that don't fit neatly into a department, Goddard has a place for you.

Through my thirteen years at Goddard serving as program director and dean and faculty, I have walked by the side of amazing students and colleagues. For me Goddard is a pocket of hope-- for serious inquiry, personal transformation and social change for the well-being of our communities and the earth.

I've been to 20 schools since kindergarten. I have been to this many because I have never been satisfied. I've been to everything from Krishnamurti to prep boarding to Waldorf to Montessori to online to correspondence to Hampshire College to Education for Life...the list goes on an on...I have even held student revolts concerning dissatisfaction with teachers!nOut of all the schools I have been to, Goddard College is the only one I can fully stand behind and recommend. I actually LOVE this place. I LOVE the teachers- they are so incredibly intelligent, awake, radical, understanding, and loving.nI'm still adjusting to the fact that I love a school after such disappointment all of these years.nI just LOVE this place.nnThanks, Goddard
