The Evergreen State College
The Evergreen State College is a publicly-funded experimental college that was founded in 1971 in Olympia, Washington.

It 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 in Public Administration, and Master in Teaching.
