WHAT MAKES EVERGREEN DIFFERENT?

ONE PROGRAM = COUNTLESS POSSIBILITIES

At Evergreen, a single program takes the place of multiple classes. A program spans one, two, or even three quarters—allowing you the time needed to produce the kind of work that would make any portfolio shine.

Most programs at Evergreen are team-taught, so you’ll learn from faculty with expertise in multiple academic fields. Since you’ll take just one program at a time, you’ll develop a close working relationship with your faculty team. And they’ll know your schedule, so you won’t have to worry about a field trip conflicting with a test.

CREATE YOUR WAY

At Evergreen, you earn your degree by combining your interests to create your own unique focus area that reflects what’s really important to you. As an undergraduate, you can earn a B.A., B.S., or a combination B.A./B.S.. We also offer master’s degrees in environmental studies, public administration, and teaching. Here are the fields of study you’ll find woven throughout our curriculum.
