The Evergreen State College

Pre-built Path in Applied Computer Science and Information Technology

The Evergreen State College

Set amid a serene Pacific Northwest forest of Olympia, Washington, Evergreen is one of the few public liberal arts and sciences college in the U.S.A. We offer degrees in Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts, and Master’s. Evergreen’s curriculum focuses on real-life problems, themes, and experiences. Here, students discover a better way of learning: hands-on and self-directed, with class sizes that are remarkably small for a public college. About 86% of Evergreen’s graduates find success in careers, service, or in graduate schools across the globe just one year after graduation.

No Traditional Majors or Minors: At the undergraduate level, Evergreen students do not declare traditional majors/minors. Instead, they intentionally plan their educational journey by developing a Path. A Path will help students stay on track and take the courses and programs that are just right for their interests. Students can either select one of the 17 pre-built paths or shape their own. They can change paths at any time and keep the credits that have already been earned.
