There are two formats for Evening and Weekend classes

• Programs are the interdisciplinary classes that form the core of Evergreen's curriculum. Instead of taking an assortment of classes on isolated topics, most Evergreen students take programs, typically with faculty members working in teams, each drawing on several disciplines to explore a central idea, theme, problem or question. Programs may last one, two or even three quarters, building on themes developed in previous quarters. Programs are usually 8, and sometimes 12 credits per quarter.
• 
  
• Courses focus on a single subject area and may be two, four or six credits per quarter. They are typically taught by one faculty member. Many students take courses to complement the interdisciplinary programs described above.

When you're planning your Evergreen education, the decisions about what to take are always up to you - there are no predetermined majors or required courses of study. That means you can select the Evening and Weekend classes that match your educational goals and fit best with your schedule.

In all of your classes you'll experience Evergreen's active learning approach - working closely with faculty and other students in seminar discussions, research, writing, labs and group projects while contributing your own valuable life lessons.
