The Evergreen State College has built a national reputation for excellence in teaching and learning.

Evergreen consistently receives accolades as a leader in developing programs for first-year students, for innovative learning communities and for service-learning programs (US News & World Report ). Loren Pope included Evergreen in Colleges That Change Lives and remarked "... [Evergreen] is more than unusual, it is unique, because values are as important as learning and public service is strongly encouraged." Colleges of Distinction also noted that the end result of an Evergreen education "is a far more coherent collegiate experience that allows students to understand and appreciate how they have changed and what they have achieved."

And, it's really great that the College's sustainability efforts garnered the attention of the Sierra Club as a Top Ten Coolest Schools for Commitment to Green. Even Marie Claire magazine listed Evergreen as "Sexiest school: The trans-fat-free fryer oil powers a local dairy truck."

"We are not just jumping onto the Sustainability bandwagon. It's woven into the very fabric of our identity and history as an institution."
— Thomas L. Purce, Ed.D., President

Whether you rely on ratings or college guide books or magazine squibs—you're bound to discover that the integrated curriculum affords you opportunities for active learning and greater interaction between peers and professors.

"Evergreen changed my life. It taught me about flexibility, responsibility, and collaboration. I always felt at a competitive advantage because of my education."
Chris Baggott, co-founder & Chief Marketing Officer, ExactTarget, Class of 1983.
