What's a Program?

Many students ask "Do I really only take one class at Evergreen?"

The answer is yes.

We call them programs.

Instead of taking several classes at once, at Evergreen you select an academic program where you will learn how to explore a central idea or theme that's interesting to you.

Faculty members from different subject areas teach in teams, each drawing on several disciplines to help you develop critical tools to navigate the real-world issues that we face today - issues like health care in the United States, the search for oil worldwide, or artistic expression across cultures.

Programs include lectures, labs, readings, seminars, field study, or research projects, and may last one, two or even three quarters, building on themes developed in previous quarters.
