By gaining practical skills and making deep connections, Evergreen students become world leaders in environmental problem solving, marine science, ecology, conservation, and more."

"Investigate the vital political, economic, ecological, and social issues of the early 21st century. Learn about their history and development, their present manifestation, and envision alternatives. Combining a strong academic focus with opportunities for independent research, community-based learning, and study abroad, this Path emphasizes the careful study of contemporary issues along with hands-on work so you can learn what can be done to make a difference and create your impact at the same time."

"In programs on the Food and Agriculture Path, you’ll study food and agriculture science and policy, social justice, and cultural, literary, and media perspectives. You’ll experience unique and powerful ways of learning that will help you create deep connections with your studies as you link theory with practice. The Pacific Northwest is one of the best and most vibrant places to study food and agriculture. Pairing this with hands-on sustainable food production and community-based projects will give you a well-rounded agriculture and food studies experience and prepare you for a future in the field."

Evergreen does not offer formal undergraduate degrees. Instead, the school adheres to a form of pedagogy that allows students to develop their own focuses based on their personalized academic and career goals. Students can pick from a variety of “Paths” to create these focuses. Per Evergreen, "A Path is a set of programs and courses that provides a way to move from introductory to advanced undergraduate study in one or more related fields. You can identify with a Path developed by Evergreen or design your own Path to build an area of emphasis."
