Hey, been thinking about potentially applying to Evergreen State College. Just curious, does anyone know what the most popular majors are there? What programs are they best known for?
Evergreen State College offers a unique educational structure compared to many conventional universities. Instead of having traditional majors, it follows a curriculum based on interdisciplinary programs, individual learning contracts, and course clusters. It emphasizes an interdisciplinary curriculum that doesn’t focus on earning a specific degree.
Having said this, a few areas of study that are generally popular among students include Environmental Studies, Social Sciences (like Psychology and Sociology), and Visual and Performing Arts. This stems from the college's emphasis on social justice, sustainability, and creative expression.
Additionally, Evergreen State also has strong programs in areas related to Natural Sciences and Humanities, where students can design their education path to meet their career goals or interests. It's particularly known for its strong commitment to sustainability and green initiatives, which permeates much of the curriculum.
Of course, the "popular" studies can vary from year to year as students have ample freedom to design their own areas of study. I hope this helps provide a snapshot of what you might expect at Evergreen State!
