Academic Planning

How do I plan my education at Evergreen?

At Evergreen, there are no predetermined majors or required courses of study. You plan your own academic pathway with assistance from faculty and staff advisors. Advisors can help you identify and choose those programs that fit your interests and goals, and for which you are appropriately prepared.

Since planning your education is your responsibility, the more information you have, the better. Students new to Evergreen are required to attend an Academic Planning Workshop, which provides comprehensive information on the academic planning process and the resources and tools available to you.
