Job Description

Founded in 2012, the Goucher Prison Education Partnership (GPEP) is a division of Goucher College operating in two Maryland state prisons, the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women (MCIW) and the Maryland Correctional Institution – Jessup (MCIJ). Each year, around 130 GPEP students enroll in college classes taught by faculty from Goucher and other local colleges and universities. They are held to the rigorous academic standards for which Goucher is known. In addition, we provide college preparatory courses in writing and math. GPEP provides students with tutoring, academic advising, all needed books and materials. GPEP students are American Studies majors and also take electives and the various courses that are part of the Goucher Commons Curriculum. We are always looking for additional qualified faculty to teach both Goucher and college preparatory courses.
