The Evergreen State College is an accredited public baccalaureate college , founded in 1967 in the state capital, Olympia, Washington . Begun as an experimental and non-traditional college, its academic offerings have become generally more traditional over time, but the college still replaces grades with individual written evaluations from faculty and organizes most studies into largely interdisciplinary classes titled "Coordinated Studies."
Evergreen offers the degrees of Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts and Sciences, Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts and Sciences, Master of Environmental Studies, Master of Public Administration, and Master in Teaching. As of 2004 it had approximately 4,400 students taught by 224 faculty members. Twenty-nine percent of faculty are part-time.
The school mascot is the geoduck , and school colors are green and white. The basketball and soccer programs are noted for recent national rankings in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics .
